Thought you all would like to know that the new Amazon Kindle 2 is due to ship later this month! Ok, I resisted the first go ’round, but with the increased storage, Amazon paying the cost of wireless connectivity, and better display… I’m putting my order in right after I finish this post…
The last release sold out very quickly and the waiting list was very long, so here’s your chance to pre-order early starting today ($359):
