iFixit which is a kind of scrapyard of Apple components, where you can find any part you need to repair your Powerbook, Macbook and iPod. These people are so into taking things apart that they have previously very useful and comprehensive guides to take apart Apple machines.
And since they are already at it, they took advantage of the Kindle 2 that they had just received to take it apart and see how it is inside. Apart from realizing that the E-Ink screen has no protection whatsoever they also found a slot for a SIM card, which could mean that they are ready to launch the Kindle 2 internationally.
As you may know, the Kindle 2 has a wireless data connection via CDMA. The emergence of the SIM card slot brings the launch of the Amazon Kindle 2 to countries with GSM networks such as Latin America and Europe.

We were somewhat doubtful about how much we would like the Kindle but now that my wife has one we love it. The screen is easy to read and we found that it was pretty simple navigating around. We especially like reading the newspapers. You can sit at the coffee shop and put it on the table and read while drinking your coffee and eating your bagel. You don’t have to hassle with the big newspaper pages, you save some trees, and there is no getting up to go to the restroom to wash the ink off your hands. I will probably have to get my own Kindle so we don’t have any fights over who gets hers first.
