Engadget is reporting that Amazon has announced the new Kindle 2 for release on February 24th at a price point of $359. Thinner than an iPhone and coming standard with "Read-to-me" text-to-speech capability, the new device also has seven times more storage, faster page turning, a 16-level e-ink display, longer battery life, and a new five-way joystick. Looks like life just got a lot more interesting for fans of the original device. Engadget also has live coverage from the Kindle 2 press conference.

Because I'm rich, and things like recessions don't affect me the same way they affect you little people.
P.S. Vote NO on Obama's spendy plans. Rich people like me need to stay rich if you working class types ever want to see a paycheck again. My best interest is YOUR best interest!
