I had this problem. My first Kindle had wear within one month. It had smooth, glossy keys. It was purchased shortly after the launch date. My second Kindle has been fine after about 3 months of use. It has keys which are rougher, like a very fine sandpaper. I probably wouldn't notice the texture if I hadn't had the first one. If you are unhappy, then I would contact Amazon and request a replacement especially if it is brand new. It was really easy to transfer my books to the new one, including all of my collections. When I registered the new one, it even had a special file with instructions explaining what to do. If you keep it, then it might continue to get worse and reduce its resale cost later.
