Amazon posts Kindle 2 manual

If you're itching to get the lowdown on just everything the Kindle 2 can--and can't do--Amazon's now posted the user manual. It's on both the Kindle 2 product page as part of the specs (clicking on the link will make the PDF pop up on your screen) or in Amazon's special Kindle documentation section where existing Kindle owners can download the AZW version to transfer to their original Kindles for reading and weeping (sorry, it always hurts a little to own a first-gen device when the new one comes out--but it'll be OK, I swear).
We'll have the full review of the Kindle 2 soon after it launches on Tuesday, February 24.
Comments are welcome, especially from those who've read through the whole manual.
Hunkered down in New York City, Executive Editor David Carnoy covers the gamut of gadgets and writes his Fully Equipped column, which carries the tag line "The electronics you lust for." He's also the author of "Knife Music," a novel. E-mail David. Follow David on Twitter.

- I became a diabetic on January 13, 2006, when in a very rare and extremely risky surgery to save my life, surgeons removed my entire pancreas. This has left me in a severe state of diabetis, that requires me to check my blood sugars 10-12 times a day. That means that my glucometer (intrument that checks my blood sugars) is never more than an arms length away from me. And, in case of an emergency, my cell phone is also that close. NOW, so is my Kindle. Those 3 items go into my purse when I leave the house. And, come out of my purse when I am home and the follow me throught the house....never more than an arm length away! I LOVE my kindle!!
