So, apparently Amazon’s new wireless book, the Kindle 2, had already sold 300,000 units in about 2 months since its launch in Feb. A stark contrast to the mere 400-500,000 sold in the entire lifetime of the previous generation, which was released with a bunch of fanfare of its own in 2008 (sold out within 5.5 hrs!). There is already another newer Kindle device, released in May, that has an accelerometer, which means you can turn page by moving the device and it will change its view from landscape to portrait depending on how you hold it.
