This slightly bigger than the normal Amazon Kindle (it’s 5.8 inches by 8.3 inches while the entire Kindle 2 measures 5.3 inches by 8 inches with a 6-inch screen) is also bundled with a bunch of PDA-like applications such as a calculator, contacts and scheduler.

But the biggest surprise is that this device comes with a touchscreen and no keyboard at all, only a stylus to work your way through the different menus. This device will also come in several different trendy colors.
