The New York Times reported that Sony’s PRS-700 is scheduled to go on sale in November, with its cost running $100 more than the current PRS-505. The 700′s new features includes a touch panel and reading light.
The Boy Genius Report (which was picked up by PC World) published sneak-peek pictures of what it says is Amazon Kindle v2. PC World’s article reports the new Kindle is reminiscent of the early iPods. As a Kindle user myself, I wish Amazon had included a reading light and less clumsy navigation buttons – so I’m curious to see if these changes are incorporated into v2.
Clearly, the original Kindle is doing well, though – - selling faster than it can be produced. While the Kindle definitely faces up and coming competition, the fact that the Kindle can seamlessly (and wirelessly) pull books from Amazon in seconds will keep it ahead of the pack. IMHO.

I’ve never used one of these before. Is it like an ipod that lets you read virtual books?
