I have several all plastic ipods and never felt they looked cheap. In fact when they replaced the white and black all plastic nano's with the annodized aluminum nanos in 5 colors i thought the originals plastic ones looked and felt better! That being said I really like the gun blued finish of the prs-500, though I think sony's scroll wheel looks cheap- the Bookeens (and the prs-505's) looks better. Plastic can look really good if it feels solid, doesnt have gaps or ridges where pieces fit together and has that silky feeling that Apple probably has a patent on.
I know I'm going to come off as a quibler, but I'd still like to know how white the screen is. When I compare my sony to your picture the screen on my Sony looks more like the color in the picture of the Bookeen- I call it newspaper white. I'm hoping this is just the light or color calibration of the camera.
