Kendal Two Is A Must Have For The Reader In Your Life
Looks Great and is Thin
At 10.2 ounces, Kendal 2 is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kendal Two fits perfectly in your hands.
Ergonomics Greatly Improved
Kendal Two is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kendal's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kendal.
New 5-way controller
Kendal 2 has a new easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words.
Simple to Use, No Computer Required
Kendal 2 is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required. Even Longer Battery Life
25% Longer Battery Life - Read for Days Without Recharging
With Kendal's 25% longer battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kendal 2 Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.
Charge via USB
AmazonKendal 2 supports wall charging via the included Kendal power adapter, and charging from your computer via the included USB 2.0 cable. Kendal fully charges in approximately 4 hours.

No Wireless Bills
No monthly wireless bills, data plans, or commitments. Amazon pays for Kendal's wireless connectivity so you won't see a wireless bill. There is no wireless setup--you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box. See Wireless Terms and Conditions. Carry Your Library in 10.2 Ounces
Holds Over 1,500 Books
The ultimate travel companion, Kendal weighs 10.2 ounces and holds more than 1,500 books. No longer pick and choose which books fit in your carry-on. Now you can always have your entire library with you.
Automatic Library Backup: Download Your Books Anytime for Free
A copy of every book you purchased is backed up online at Amazon.com in case you ever need to download it again. You can wirelessly re-download books for free anytime. This allows you to make room for new titles on your Kendal, knowing that Amazon is storing your personal library. We even back up your last page read and annotations, so you'll never lose those, either. Think of it as a bookshelf in your attic--even though you don't see it, you know your books are there.
