Mobileread.com has just posted the first official photos, price, and sale date of the Kindle 2. Alexander Turcic writes:
Put on your gloves… it’s time to rumble! We are happy to present to you the first official photos of the Kindle 2. Yes, we are now pretty much absolutely sure that this is what Amazon is going to present to the world next Monday.
And here is another news for you: The Kindle 2 costs you $359 USD and is going to be available for sale on February 24th, 2009.
Click through for the photos.
It is not clear why they are charging $359 for it new yet asking those who pre-ordered to pony up an additional 10% to change their order—if, indeed, they are asking that, and Windwalker was not misled.

Does anyone know if the Kindle 2.0 screen is improved? What is the whiteness of the screen, the contrast?
Pretty much what was expected – no touch screen, no colour etc. Larger than it needs to be for the size of display (which incidentally looks like a bog standard 6″ E-Ink unit – no surprises there).
Certainly much better looking than the original -but does it have folders yet?
I like the bookmarked page indicator (shown in the 5th thumbnail). Very subtle.
