Amazon Kindle 2 is Here!

Amazon Kindle 2 is here and it has a lot more functionality than version 1. It is getting thinner, with better battery-life and holds many more books than before. Can you see the parallel between the evolutions of the Kindle and the cellphone?!

The big difference between the cellphone and the Kindle is in the pricing scheme. Cellphones started getting cheaper and then the phone companies folded in the cost of the handset into the servicing contract (giving it away for free). Amazon does not seem to have that intention (at still not yet). Their pricing model seems to be more like the Apple - premium product for premium prices. I will watching this with interest.
