I just recently got my Kindle 2 from Amazon this week (I’ve got a full review coming!). A few people from my office expressed interest in seeing it, so I took it to work to give a few demonstrations.

After bouncing from office to office, showing off my Kindle 2 like a proud parent, I went back to my own office to get some work done. An hour later, I was inundated by the rest of my coworkers. They all wanted to check out the new Kindle!

Of course, I was happy to oblige, but I never expected so many people would be this interested. Person after person would stop by, gently knock on my door and say, “I heard you have one of the new kindles! Can I see it?”

I must have given a demonstration more than a dozen times, but not once did I mind. For every person who showed interest in seeing the new Kindle, the more I felt like I had made a solid purchase. No buyer’s remorse here!

Among the most popular comments I heard that day were, “my goodness, look at how small and light it is,” and “I didn’t know you can browse the web with this!”. Another feature that seemed to really impress everyone was how you can quickly find the definition of any word while you read. The text-to-speech (called, “Read to Me” by Amazon) seemed to make a good impression as well. I saw more than one jaw drop when the Kindle began to read a book to us.

So if any of you are still on the fence about getting the new Kindle 2 and you have a friend, relative, or coworker who owns one, ask to check it out. Or, just save yourself some time and buy a Kindle 2 today. I sincerely doubt you will regret it.
