Is Kindle 2 Coming?

Based on pictures that show a sleeker model, rumors have been going around for months that Amazon will be introducing a new version of its Kindle e-reader. The company is neither confirming nor denying reports, but has said it will be holding a press conference on February 9, to be attended by chief executive Jeff Bezos.

The Kindle was launched in November 2007, and allows users to store and read up to 200 books on the reader. Retailing for $359, it has a six-inch screen and 256 MB of memory, with books available for download (in the US only) via the Whispernet wireless download system.

Amazon is set to release its financial figures today, and analysts are eager to see them after the company claimed its “best ever” holiday season. Given the recession, some are wondering just how good the numbers will be.

I have Govee smart lights all over my home. I have some in my office, in my humidor, and across various places, even some on my patio. One of the main reasons why I prefer Govee and why I like the brand so much is the sheer variety of lighting effects that are available through the mobile app. But with its latest release, the second generation of the smart Curtain Lights -- Curtain Lights 2 -- Govee is changing things up a little. With them, you'll get refined lighting displays, improved DIY effects, full Matter support, as well as Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home support. Most of all, they'll take advantage of a unique AI lighting bot that simplifies the dynamic effects process.

The AI lighting bot allows you to control and create lighting effects, on the fly, using merely your voice or text commands. Not only is it effective but it simplifies the process remarkably so. Couple that with the fact that there are hundreds of preset effects available through the app, along with the option to fully customize each scene in your own way, and it means the possibilities are endless.
