I found the following useful information on the Kindle 2, Kindle 2.0 Books Reader, Amazon Kindle 2 Review site.  I just wish I had the cash to get a Kindle 2.  :-(  I would trade in my XBox 360 and gaming, etc… for one. 

“Waiting for the 24th Feb Kindle 2 release date, and suddenly realized that the Kindle 2 User Guide must have some interesting details (thanks to Kindle Chronicles for the tip). And I do find it rather disconcerting that the Kindle 2 User Guide is a PDF -

Basic Kindle 2 Tips

1. To turn the Wireless On/Off - Press the Menu button, then use the 5 way controller up to underline ‘Turn Wireless On/Off” and then press the 5-way button to select.  
2. To Change Text Size on Kindle 2.0 – Press the Text Key (Aa key), move the 5 way controller to choose the size you prefer, and then press the 5-way to select. 
3. To Use Read To Me (Text to Speech) – Press the Text Key (Aa key), move the 5 way controller down to the Text To Speech row, and then select 5-way to start Text To Speech. You can also use the Aa Key and then 5-way to change the speech rate and the speaking voice.   
4. Look Up the Dictionary – use the 5-way controller to move the cursor in front of the word you want defined. A definition appears at the bottom of the Kindle 2’s Screen. Press the Return key on the keyboard to look up the full definition.
5. View your Content - Press the Home button on the Kindle 2.
6. Read Newspapers and magazines – Pressing the 5-way controller’s left and right buttons, you can move to the next and previous articles.  Also, pushing the 5-way bring up the periodical’s section list.”
