I have always been amazed and intrigued by digital reading devices ever since I was young and started reading books. I love books and I try to read helluva lot, even devoting a sister site here to chronicle my readings.

The thing about books is that they can be clumsy to read and bulky to carry about sometimes. This is especially so for hardcover books which I rarely purchase. Not to mention that storage becomes a problem in the long run if I buy and keep books.

I love to read at night just before I sleep but my bedside lamp a little too bright for my liking sometimes. Reading lying down (yes yes, i know it is bad for my eyesight) can be quite difficult as I like to shift my position quite a bit. I have even read from my phone before after going through lengths to modify it. (I even completed the whole Lord of the Rings series, including the Similarion on the phone) . I have been contemplating buying Amazon’s Kindle before and now this happens…

Kindle 2 is HERE!

The blogoshere is raving about it and fans are screaming their heads off.

Ok I might be exaggerating but so many people are talking about Kindle 2.0. Here’s a summary of the damn cool features that makes me salivate.

• Wireless: 3G
  wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle 2.0, anytime,
  anywhere; no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. Best for Wireless-SG folks.
