I was surprised yesterday with an early birthday present, a new Kindle 2. I'm really quite impressed with this e-book reader. The first book I downloaded was Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, for $9.99.
The Kindle 2 is surprisingly quadriplegic friendly and very thin, I am able to use my pencil in my brace to complete all of the navigation. The text to speech function is a little choppy but works out well... the speakers are loud and clear.
I plan on spending the day switching between actually reading and the text-to-speech function. I'm looking forward to learning all about my new toy...
Update: the text to speech was only on the trial version of the book, when I bought it the text to speech went away....
