I personally like the Kindle design. A keyboard so I can search for terms in a book is an awesome feature, and I think the Kindle's implementation looks better than the Librie's.
I have one; he's right. It's ugly.

Amazon made several interesting design decisions in the shape of the Kindle (the way it is thicker on the left, the beveled lower corners, the tapered right edge). Each was a practical feature, but when assembled together on such a small device make the Kindle look ugly.
