Tips about Kindle

The Kindle 2 was released in 2009, not too long after the original Kindle.  The Kindle 2 is also said to be more appealing to the eye.  “Amazon's new and improved digital-book reading device does enough right that it could become the Model T of e-readers, capturing the imagination--and discretionary spending--of the masses” (Quittner, 2009). The Kindle 2 is said to be a major upgrade from the previous Kindle it is “sleeker, more pleasant to touch and easier to read, and the battery lasts forever” (Francis, 2011).  The only thing that distinctly stayed the same was the size of the screen.  The Kindle 2 is also helping with saving the planet.  It is reducing the risk of deforestation; therefore fewer books are being used.
