Amazon Kindle 2 announced: $359 on February 24

From Engadget -

Amazon has announced its Kindle 2 ebook reader with the exclusive Stephen King novel UR. At 0.36" the second generation model is much thinner, it is even thinner than the Apple iPhone. In addition, it also features Read to Me, which reads any content back to you. Other improvements include 7x more storage, a 20% faster and sharper 16-level e-ink display, 25% longer battery life (but battery is still non-removable) and a 5-way navigation joystick.

Amazon's Whispernet service also added Whispersync bookmarking, which lets you retrieve boomarks from any any other Kindle automatically. It still only available in white (the pink Kindle here is just a one-off PR model). The new version will still cost $359
