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?
It may be something you just have to try for yourself, because I am not at all distracted by my flowery decal and yet kindlekitten is very distracted by a similar skin. Maybe you could just find a potentially distracting picture in a magazine and cut out a frame to put over your reader, and just see whether or not it bothers you. That way you would know before you invest...
