Title: First Impressions
Product review: I just unpacked my Kindle 2, turned it around, and played with it a bit. First impressions:1) It feels lighter, and it much easier to hold than the Kindle 1.2) The next and previous page buttons are placed much better, and take more pressure to activate. So there should be a lot less "accidental" page turns.3) There's an option on the reading menu to sync to the furthest point read in the book. Excellent!4) Wireless is turned on and off from the menu, there's no physical switch.5) The Kindle 2 can be recharged with a USB cable. No more extra cable power.Those are all good things. BUT... there is one really annoying design feature. The USB cable is not a standard mini-USB (Mini-A) plug. I think it's a "Micro-B" plug, but I'm still trying to confirm that.That means I'll have to get some more cables, because I connect my Kindle to more than one machine. The Kindle 2 is still an excellent device, but I took a star off the review for the funky cable.
