You're funny. When the Kindle 1 came out... most people complained that it was, and I quote "fugly"... but most people admitted it was very functional. So, they put alot of thought it what really counted.
But, as you say, MANY complained about the looks, so they redesigned it, making it slimmer and curvy.... MANY now say it looks pretty... but to make it so thin they dropped the SD card and user replaceable battery features.
So, while I think you are wrong when you say that thought didn't go into the features that "count". However, you are right when you say that most of the complaints about the K1 were superficial and not functional.
