The Kindle 2, as it's called, is exactly as the leaked photos suggested: A moderate design update, but really thin -- 0.36 inches, thinner than the iPhone. No international access yet, and veiled references to future mobile devices that the Kindle will be able to synch with via a feature called Whispersync.

The Kindle 2 costs $359 and will start shipping on Feb. 24. Kindle 1 owners will get priority access to the second edition.
