Kindle 2's UPC Reader

You've heard the Kindle 2 had even more bells and whistles than the first one, but did you know it comes with its own bar code reader? If you're buying a K2, make sure not to miss this little artistic flourish on the back of the box; the old UPC lines rendered as a serene, rolling hillside where someone is enjoying a good book, presumably on the Kindle, while enjoying the shade from a tree growing from a thick root/code line.
