they load much faster on the kindle 2. on K1, it used to suck to read graphics-heavy docs (such as the pragmatic programmers beta iphone book), because the page with the images would load more slowly than the text-only pages. that is mostly fixed in this version. the images look better too, thanks to the increased gray-scale support. the screensaver images look great as always. it makes it seem as if image handling is an under-utilized feature. a black and white graphical novel would look spectacular on this thing.
