| Wi-Fi only Whispernet (NOT what I expected)5 star product, 1 star pre-sale information.
I am upgrading my version 1 Kindle and I found the new one lighter, prettier and easier to use. On the other hand, it requires a wifi connection to download a book from Amazon.
Comparing to the first generation Kindle:
Better:
- Lighter
- Better graphics
- Native PDF support
- Better navigation (no more accidental page turns)
- Charge using USB (one less charger to carry)
- Easier to put to sleep (only one finger required)
- Easier to turn on/off the wireless (save battery)
- Battery lasts longer (didn't test it yet)
- Organize books into collections
- Hooks to attach to the cover (no more falling Kindles)
Worse:
- No "anywhere" Whispernet (wifi required)
- No support for external memory
- Uses micro-USB for connection (your old cables will not work, BUT they provide a cable)
- No replaceable battery (BUT I never replaced mine after 2 years)
- No cover provided (an additional $30+ expense)
Expanding some of these points:
-- Wifi vs "wireless"
Requiring a wifi connection was a big let down for me, since it was not clear from the specs that it wouldn't have the same access as my old one. If you look carefully at the description, you will see under "Books in 60 Seconds with Built-In Wi-Fi" that "Your books and periodicals are delivered over Wi-Fi via Whispernet" and there is no mention of other type of delivery
Since I used to associate Whispernet with the wireless (cell, not wifi!), it was kind of misguiding... I'll probably keep my new kindle, because I am usually pretty close to a wifi point most of the time. If you don't, spend the extra $50 for the 3G version.
-- PDF support
I thought that PDF support would be the best thing ever, but this format was designed for a 8x10 inches page and most of the books I tried are difficult to read, especially if they have very detailed graphics. If reading PDF documents (think manuals and legal books) is your main reason for a Kindle, seriously consider the DX. It is much more expensive, but your eyes will thank you. Or, alternatively, try to convert to native format. In this case, be aware that tables are not properly converted, most of the time.
-- Size, weight and buttons
The first Kindle was not heavy at all, but the new one feels as light as a 5 pages catalog. You can read it all day long without even noticing you are holding something. The reorganization of keyboard and navigation made for a smaller device, without sacrificing the screen, but nothing here really important.
A major complaint of everyone who uses the first generation Kindle was the size and position of the navigation keys. It was extremely hard to read on the bed without accidentally turning pages. This problem is now solved, with keys for "next page" and "previous pages" that are smaller but still easy to find by touch on both sides of the screen.
-- Cover
I still don't have mine, so I have to base this on the images in Amazon. Another major complaint was that, if you were not very careful, you could end up holding the cover while the Kindle would fall down on you, or, even worse, on the floor. Now, instead of a loose attachment, the Kindle has two slots that will fit hooks attached to the cover. Apparently, once hooked to the cover, you have to intentionally free it.

CHEAP!I used these HDMI's to connect my xbox, dvd player and satelite box to my receiver. These are probably the cheapest hdmi cables you will get online or anywhere! Buy alot! I got 3. I want to get a few more! Good performance as far as I can tell. Wish it was 1.4 for 3d but I can upgrade them when I get a 3d tv!

Good cable, good price.Does what all the other more expensive HDMI cables do, tranmists audio and video, only at a fraction of the price. There's is no need to go to a brick & mortar store and get fleeced at $40,$60,$100+ for an HDMI cable when these cables get the job done for just $7. This is my second cable that I've ordered and have been pleased with both. Cable worked great out of the box for all my components; satellite receiver, Xbox 360, PS3(Blu-Ray). There's no frills here, the pictures in the description show exactly what you get..plain box, cable, warranty card, and that's all you need. Cable even arrived earlier than estimated date, so thanks Amazon!

EXCELLENT upgrade to an already great device.Not much to say about this one.
The changes Apple made to the iPod Touch are all great and add more and better functionality to an already excellent product.
If you don't have an iPhone but want to enjoy all those cool apps and widgets, get an iPod Touch. You won't be disappointed.
