I guess they want to squeeze another $100 out of you to buy one as an accessory. Unlike the original kindle, the one I got today shipped with no cover or slipcase to protect it while you travel.

If you've spent any amount of time with the original Kindle, you'd know that the amount of content on the page loading greatly affects load times. So loading a page with 5 words on the K1 and an entire text page on the K2 in the same amount of time actually proves to me that the K2 is faster. Wow.

Unlike a normal LCD display, where every pixel is addressable independently and instantaneously, E-Ink screens must be written a screen at a time, and that process isn’t quick. With the original Kindle, there was a noticeable page flash as the page was redrawn; Amazon is claiming 20-percent faster page turns with the Kindle 2. Without being able to compare them side-by-side, it’s hard to know if a faster page flash will be less distracting. Many Kindle owners have said that they don’t find the page flash disconcerting, though there were also plenty of people who found it sufficiently annoying that they either didn’t buy a Kindle or returned one. Despite Amazon’s claims, TechCrunch has a video that shows no speed improvement at all. [...] [...] Also supposedly improved is page turn time.

How about I make an article: Techcrunch 20x less accurate in 2009. update: made a mistake, TC no less accurate now than it has ever been. Be a man and publish another post that refutes your inaccurate one... not an update at the bottom. Is there an editor at TC even? Articles like this make me want to come back less and less. I still think the Kindle is way too expensive and a niche product. Also does anyone really believe the number of Kindle sales that Amazon claims?
