I don't find it's ugly at all. The ergonomics is a little off though. If the buttons were shifted just a bit so you could hold it easier by it's edges, it would be easer.

Having said that though, the manuel does say that it's meant to be read with it's cover on. And with the cover on, you don't have all the button pushing problems. But the cover needs at least one more corner holder—it's sorta scary the way it is now and how it seems it will fall out of it. I'm gonna get a bit of velcro for the bottom corner and that should solve the problem.

After you get used to it, it's fine. But of course, you shouldn't HAVE to get used to something after spending $400 but I give them credit for TRYING something different with the design. Remember, Sony changed it's design with the 505, so the Kindle may evolve a bit too.
