And here it is! Jeff Bezos has unveiled Kindle version 2.0, and it’s bigger, more expensive ($360), yet thinner: only 0.36″ according to Amazon, or “25 percent thinner than the iPhone.” Here’s the Gizmodo report, and the NYT story. Other facts: 8″ x 5.3″ dimensions, 7 times more memory, Feb. 24 ship date, it can read aloud to you, monochrome screen (still), and 10.2 ounces. So, unlike the chubby iPhone, it won’t make your ass look huge. But you’ll need bigger pockets.
