In my case they were right about features hooking me in despite my initial horror at the design. Whispernet is nice but it was search, dictionary lookup, annotation and the large selection of titles that really got me. Whispernet has turned out to be even niftier that I first accounted for, though. I didn't think of it much when I bought the Kindle but man is it great to be able to just buy a book and have it there or grab a sample right when I first hear about a book. Still, why make an ugly design when you could make an attractive one and possibly get even more customers?
