There’s a lot of buzz on the internet and technology bogs about the new Amazon Kimble 2 wireless reader at the moment and I can see why. The Kimble 2 is smaller and lighter than its predecessor.

So why would people want to buy an Amazon Kimble device? Well, in my opinion, it’s a really good gadget and needs to be given time to grow and mature. Some people that I have spoken to think that the idea of the Kimble is “lame”, Now, I find that kind of comment a bit harsh seeing as the person saying it has never used a Kimble device.

To be honest, I haven’t used one either but I can see the potential in owning such a gadget. Being able to access up to 250,000 books whilst on the move is a really exciting idea to me. The books can be downloaded in about 60 seconds too.

The Amazon Kimble 2 could also see you buying your daily newspaper through it. This is something that has really excited me. New newspapers could become available to people; newspapers who are struggling at the moment to get themselves off the ground could cut out traditional printing costs and go completely digital. This is the way forward for a lot of papers. I know that it is a long way off before everyone has a Kimble, or a device similar to a Kimble, but the potential is there.

We will have to wait and see if the Amazon Kimble 2 will really take off won’t we. I really hope it does because I simply love the device and can’t wait to get my hands on one, certainly something to keep your eye on for a future purchase.
