I want to buy a Kindle, but I wasn’t sure what the difference was between 1 and 2, and which one you recommend. Thanks.

I recommend this article to you, it is written by a person who has tried a number of ebook readers. It mentioned the difference between Kindle 1 and Kindle 2, and is also the best review on the Kindle I’ve ever read (note that the Kindle 2 support PDF natively now):

Check out the link below for more details on the product.
own the Kindle 2, and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 20 books so far.
I love my Kindle because it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I owned the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
I like reading and at the beginning I missed a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired.
Below is where you can purchase your own from amazon.com:
These two articles outlines the differences between them:

I suggest to go for the Kindle 2, it is slimmer and more handy, and there are a number of improvements as mentioned in the above articles.
I just checked their price from the pages below, there isn’t a too big difference indeed. And there is only used version for the Kindle 1, as Amazon now only manufacture the Kindle 2.
Hope it helps
well kindle 1 is old and kindle 2 is new.. so thas the difference
I would recommend you look up the differences online and make your choice on what you have learn from doing research
