Jeff Bezos of Amazon unveiled the Kindle 2 today; apparently it represents a significant upgrade.

Also released today is the Kindle version of The New Yorker. Starting now, for $2.99 a month, you will get your New Yorker subscription on your Kindle. How does it get there? "Free wireless delivery via Amazon Whispernet." (Amazon Whispernet—doesn't that sound like something Tarzan might have to free himself from?)

Amazon user "Dick Diver" approves: "I've been waiting for this now for over a year." He's hoping that more magazines are on the way.
