Yesterday was one of those days when the stars aligned for Amazon’s Kindle PR team. All the major tech blogs published multiple articles on the Kindle 2, coinciding with the recent deliveries of the new device into people’s homes and offices. And then today, even a few more articles shuffled out of the gate.
The Kindle 2 has some serious opponents, namely the editors at Gizmodo, who have been eager to take the e-book reader down a peg because it’s not yet their dream device, but all press is good press in the end. Here’s a round-up of some of the best and most colorful blog writings about the Kindle 2 in the last 2 weeks.
