Boy Genius Report has what it claims are spy photos of Amazon's Kindle 2. If indeed real (they do look pretty convincing) then it's a major improvement over the polarizing design of the first one.

Here are just some of the updates:

Our ninja didn’t have a pocket ruler, but he said that the size of the display is approximately the exact same as the original Kindle even though at first glance it looks a little smaller. What might be a little troublesome is the fact that the battery does not look to be user-accessible, and there’s no more SD card slot. In the top left corner of the device, it gives you a display of how much memory is left, and our guy’s unit showed 1403 MB.

Head over to Boy Genius Report for more on the device and a gallery of fuzzy cameraphone-like pictures.
