I wanted blue, but the store only had silver. Now that I have the silver, I think I am glad. The dark border of the 500 stands out in your eyes much more than the silver does, it's easier to ignore as "white space" as it is similar to the color of the background of the page.

I have one small complaint that I'm guessing would apply to the blue as well- the tops and bottoms of the reader are highly polished and reflective metal (unlike the brushed appearance of the rest of the surface). My booklight reflects off of that 1/2 a cm or so if I attach it to the top or bottom. Works okay if I attach it to the side. I may end up masking it off with tape.

Can anyone with the blue reader comment- does it have the same reflective line at the top and bottom?
