The original Kindle was released over a year ago and created a lot of buzz when first released, however over the past year the buzz factor has dwindled quite a bit though sales seemed to remain steady. The Kindle 2.0 was released earlier this year but there really wasn’t much hype over the 20% faster, very sleek looking upgrade to it’s predecessor. However, with the tremendous attention given to the iPad and other electronic pads and readers, the Kindle is getting it’s time back in the spot light and is shining quite nicely.

The Kindle 2.0 got a hefty 20% increase in processing power along with 3G wireless capabilities, which means no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots and blazing fast book downloads all with no annual contracts.  The built in 256MB of memory provides room for up to 1,500 of your favorite books that you can pick out from the more than 620,000 titles available at your fingertips. Oh, did I mention you can also share your favorite passages from your readings through the Twitter and Facebook features on your Kindle 2.0? All for just $189 starting price for the 6″ screen, up to $350+ for the premium 9.7″ versions.
