I own the original Kindle My friend purchased the new Kindle 2. I would've thought adding a inner light was in the works but I was wrong! Needs a inner light bad. Original Kindle has the option of having a SD card to further expand your library to 4,000 titles. Not so with the new Kindle. There is no SD card so the Kindle is maxed out to 1,500 titles. Hmmmm. The power button is annoying.Its a hold for a few seconds kinda thing. I like my simple on/off switch.Yes there are new features; the "cursor" is better for highlighting a word for definition or an annotation.The outer buttons such as page turner is moved for a better grip and unneccessary page turning. But over all, I like my original better. Just SCREAMING for a inner light! The clip on lights just don't do the trick.
