Amazon Kindle 2
Many more featuresBattery life
OK, what is the most annoying thing about laptops and netbooks - battery life! They are not truly portable devices, I know from personal experience that I cannot use my laptop for more than about an hour before looking for somewhere to plug it in. In fact it spends more time plugged in to the mains than it does running on battery. So if you were thinking that you can buy and read eBooks on your laptop think again.On a four hour charge the Kindle 2 will run for weeks - Yes WEEKS. On wireless it will need charging approximately every four days but with wireless switched off it can last up to two weeks or more! How refreshing is that! A portable device that you can use further than 6 feet from a mains outlet!
Text size, notes and other cool functions
Increase the font size if your eyes get tired
Add notes, copy text, edit and export important sections of the eBook
There is also a built in dictionary to look up those long words you haven't heard before.

There are of course other eBook readers on the market but given that Amazon started life as an online book store and they already have a vast infrastructure in place for the written word, who's device do you think will become the defacto system for eBook readers? Just as Apple and the iPhone dominated the music download industry, Amazon and Kindle will dominate the eBook business. So what's it to be, Beta-Max or VHS? Amazon Kindle 2 is the only truly portable reading tool that is capable of wirelessly downloading books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, audio books etc. etc. and it only weighs 10.2 ounces.
