Kindle 2 Is Coming on Monday

Just a friendly reminder that the Amazon Kindle 2.0 comes out on Monday!

Here is a recap of what we know:

It is an updated version with the same sized screen, a smaller form factor, and an improved interface. Amazon has seemingly “skipped three or four generations,” comparing the old Kindle to the 1st gen iPod and the new version to something like the iPod Mini.
It’s a longer device but not as thick as the original Kindle, and fixes some of the button issues that plague users (like accidental page turns).
It may have a touchscreen.
There may be a new model shaped like an 8 1/2 x 11-inch piece of paper, is considerably bigger than the current model and should be available next year. This one would be for students.
No word on pricing, but expect something in line with current pricing or less.
The Kindle 1.0 is essentially being pulled and new new Kindles should ship shortly after announcement.

Stay tuned. We’ll have more details on Monday.
