What are the features of Kindle 2, should you upgrade Kindle 1?
The good:
Kindle 2 looks really nice! The keys are much better than kindle 1. The five ways button works really well. You can turn pages easily with one hand and read with one hand holding the kindle.
Kindle 2 is great for travel. You can download your favorite books anytime. You can take your kindle library with you and choose any book you like to read.
Kindle is a fantastic tool for learning English. Classics are very cheaper to download, most classics are only $0.99. You can look up the dictionary with the five way button very easily. You can use text to speech feature to correct your pronunciations: this is especially important for students who learn English as the second language.
The bad:
the screen is relatively small. I wish to have a much big screen. The background is too dark. You need bright light to read comfortably. Turns of page bother my eyes. The Internet browser is far from useful. There is no SD card and replaceable battery.
The ugly:
The kindle can only used in US. If there is no sprint data coverage, you can not use kindle.
