I ordered one while they were showing it this morning. Used my Prime for the shipping and it will be here the 26th. Now I have one next to the bed that I don't have to keep moving around. Now I need a cover, don't like the Amazon one, the Cole-Haan's look like they use corners to hold it in not the hinges. I've got 2 weeks to find something, I wonder if any of the K1 after market covers will work......

Broke down and done it.
Everything I wanted - not so much, but what is.
But a strong step in the right direction.

I guess I *am* a gadget/electronic guru after all because I just one clicked using my Prime for shipping after saying I was not going to order K 2 yet. Go figure, watched the video on Amazon since I missed the live coverage and could not resist. I love the sleekness, increased storage since I don't use SD cards anyway, and the text to voice feature. 90 minute roundtrip commute everyday.

Yeah, I ordered one, too. I don't know if I'll cancel yet or not. I don't really need it, of course, but was thinking of selling the K1 to my mom (at a VERY reasonable family price, of course) to offset the cost of the K2. She's been wanting a Kindle but they are too expensive for her.

The text to speech feature did it... I ordered one. It will be here on Feb 26th. As someone said 1/2 inch longer so hope I could still use the Oberon cover with the velcro.

Wait, I missed out on the "usb cord charge" and "podcast feature." I'm on K2 overload. The text-to-speech put me over the edge....although I'm hoping the "speech" won't be too robotic.
Podcast feature?
Podcast listening feature is experienmential. Meanwhile the ability to charge through a usb cord is listed on the amazon site.....I really like the more crisp picture capabilities k2 has You can also hear the k2 speak in one of the videos on the K2 page on amazon. |

Having pulled the trigger on K2, now I'm debating what to do with K1. I suspect I'll end up keeping it as my "house book" and leave the slimmer K2 in my messenger bag as the traveling version - sort of like my iPod strategy (a little Nano that lives in my gym bag and a classic that goes everywhere else). Not that either Kindle is all that big, but with the Oberon case the K1 is medium-book-sized. So I'll be hunting for a minimalist K2 cover of some sort. Geez, I just barely finished shopping for K1 and now I'm right back into those decisions!

38 minutes from "thanks but no thanks" to one click. A true Kindleholic. Congratulations. |

I think I'm going to be happy with this case. Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but I can't see going for one of the $100+ cases. Amazon Kindle 2 Leather Cover yes 100 bucks for a case is a bit more from a college student budget point of view. Any news about K2 student/textbook edition? |

It's killing me, but I'll wait for K3. I've only had Bibi for 3 months and love her, and my husband would have a fit if I bought a new one.

I didn't need the k2 either. The sleek new design and the usb charging did me in. That means one less charger I'll need. I also liked the crisper pictures. I sold my k1 for $325 so it's not making a huge dent in my budget, although replacing the covers and skins I sold with it will, but I'll try to be good about that. I plan on buying the Amazon cover and then waiting until DecalGirl and Oberon have their k2 items ready (I'm seriously hoping the k2 will fit in my velcro Oberon though. If not, I'll wait.

Well I ordered one too, liked the text to speech feature. I figure I can always cancel the order if I change my mind or sell one of them later. My Kindle is sitting here looking at me though- not sure he's very happy about possibly being replaced!

Ok got the email. I'll see if I like the K2 for myself and let the teens have Luv's K1 that is being shipped soon. I think I scared her with how fast I said yes and completed the transaction! Love ya Luv!
