Amazon Announces the Kindle 2

As anticipated, Amazon revealed the Kindle 2 in a press conference this morning.

With a whole host of new functions, features and improvements - the largest and quite possibly most controversial is of course the
text-to-speech:

You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can choose from both male and female voices which can be sped up or slowed down to suit your preference. In the middle of a great book or article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on Text-to-Speech and listen on the go.
