"It's hard not to love Amazon's new e-book reader. For starters, it's gorgeous. Unlike its bulky predecessor, the redesigned $359 Kindle, which came out this week, is light, thin, and disappears in your hands. If you think there's no way you could ever get used to curling up with an electronic reader, you haven't given the Kindle a chance. Load up a good book and you'll soon forget you're reading plastic rather than paper. You'll also wonder how you ever did without it. The Kindle makes buying, storing, and organizing your favorite books and magazines effortless. You can take your entire library with you wherever you go and switch from reading the latest New Yorker to the latest best-seller without rolling out of bed. In my few days using it, I was won over: The Kindle is the future of publishing." - Farhad Manjoo, Slate

"The best e-reading system on the market. Welcome improvements to aesthetics, more functional industrial design, better graphics and longer battery life. Sleeker than the original: A third of an inch thick and 10 ounces." - Steven Levy, Wired

"Bottom line: The Kindle is easier to use and more versatile, thanks to its wireless coverage." - Consumer Reports

"Overall, this is a great platform for reading a novel or anything where you just want to be able to pick it up and put it back down at a moment's notice -- the wireless delivery of books you order on Amazon's website is still just about perfect." - Christopher Null, Yahoo! Tech

"It reads very easily without any eyestrain whatsoever; I felt like I was reading a book whereas reading on an iPhone or a computer is just a gimmick. The Kindle is indeed a genuine alternative to a print edition and not just a toy." - Michael Glitz, Huffington Post

"With a slimmer, sleeker design, a crisper display and 25 percent longer battery life, the Kindle 2 is fast becoming a must-have for avid readers who don’t want to schlep a ton of books." - Star Magazine
