It's not too hard to find stories on the latest Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) e-book reader, the Kindle 2.

But the newly released Kindle has a lot to live up to, according to a recent ChangeWave survey of original Kindle e-book owners.

Fifty-eight percent of owners of the original Kindle said they were very satisfied with their device, and 31% said they were somewhat satisfied. Only 4% said they were unsatisfied.
