Kindle 2 Reader
I just bought a used Kindle 2 reader on Ebay. Do I have to unregister it and then re-enter the serial number with my account at Amazon?
A: yes because the original owner is registered..

Will the next generation of Amazon's Kindle eReaders feature a dramatic innovation, possibly a color or lighted display? Recent rumors suggest significant changes are coming for the venerable e-reader, which currently has an e-ink display without backlighting or color.
Why now? A possible explanation is that eReader sales aren't what they used to be . A March report from Digitimes Research predicted that global shipments of e-readers would reach just 2 million units in the first quarter of 2012--a huge drop from nine million shipments in Q4 2011.
Consumers, it appears, are opting for color tablets instead, a phenomenon that Digitimes Research calls a "substitution effect."

The Kindle 2 has seen some improvement. There may not be a replacement battery with the K2, but the battery charge life is a great deal longer especially when you turn the Wi-Fi off when not using it.

There is truly a constant and gradual advancement of technology as time passes by through the years. People are used to getting fed-up with so much information on anything from reading books and other reading resources. But today, all these reading materials are converged as one using a wireless reading device. This has totally made reading a different experience. There are no more paper pages to scan through, just a mobile device on your hands.
