How Wireless is the Kindle 2?

If wireless means naked then Kindle 2 is pornographic and not suitable for women. The only time you need to plug in your Kindle 2 is when its battery is low. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the device is its wild “wirelessness.” Download books on the farm, in the dentists chair, on the pot… anyplace you happen to be. The newspapers and magazines you subscribe to are updated automatically at irreligious hours of the morning. Blogs can’t be stopped from updating, all day long! There are no wires. You’re free.

So how does Amazon make this happen? In addition to sheer magic, Amazon uses Whispernet’s wireless connection. You can order your book in minutes and download the feast in seconds. Amazon also lets you play in Sprint’s 3G network so you can access and download stuff from wherever. It is better than WiFi because you don’t have to search for hotspots. The strength of your connection, however, does vary, often depending on the pronunciation of the town you find yourself in. Don’t worry, you can access the Amazon database from all 50 states, including Alaska. The area has expanded to nearly everywhere in the US, while the old Kindle worked best in Ivy League towns and barista barns.

Kindle 2’s usability factory is unparalleled in the modern world. Whether we’re talking about the screen’s indifferent attitude toward lighting or pages that flip over faster than you can shout Beard, Kindle 2 sports big improvements. Hold the Kindle in a single hand while your primitive peers grip their paperbacks tightly with the obvious risk of paper cuts.

Yeah, the Kindle 2 is wireless. You’re PC won’t even know you own it, unless you do a lot of work with PDF. But in that case, your computer hates you anyways! I would actually recommend that you try out some interesting environments just to test this presumptuous piece of technology.
