Kindle 2 Accessories–products to jazz up your new Kindle

The Kindle 2 was just released this February and will not even ship until the end of the month, but already accessories for Amazon’s new e-book have started popping up. It seems that other companies must have known the new Kindle 2 was coming long before the rest of us. In fact, almost immediately after Amazon announced the new Kindle 2, companies already had entire lines of products geared towards the new e-book. Here is a run-down on some of the accessories out there from lights to cases to additional memory.
