This is very timely -- I was just thinking of starting a similar thread. I have a bebook mini which is starting to peel quite badly and I am tempted by a skin from Smirkabout

From a purely aesthetic point of view and if the skin was for an MP3 player or laptop, I would be inclined to go for something very bright and colourful -- something like Ravaged or Alien Abstract, but I have the same concerns about whether it would distract from the reading experience or make the text seem less distinct etc.

Would a more muted colour like this or this work better on an ereader? Or would I be better to go for something tending towards monochrome or black-and-white (say this, this or this) on the grounds that the pattern may be less distracting than the colour?
