correction: I have a doc with monospace (in a personal doc), but the purchased computer books do not have the code samples in monospace for some reason.
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.
