I just don't know what the big deal is and I have come to think white makes perfect sense on the Kindle.

I have both the white and graphite and find I prefer the graphite. It is not black, it is graphite - a dark grey with keys labeled in a light gold color. Very attractive. The darker bezel makes the display background seem even lighter (and the difference with the new Pearl e-ink is quite noticeable). There is also no bright reflection from the graphite bezel when in the sunlight.
Many people have applied skins to their white Kindles to create the same result. Now it is not necessary.
