Coming from the ergonomic eBookwise, I've had to adapt to the Kindle. I didn't like the slippery brushed metal feel or sharp edges, so I got a silicone skin. I still don't like the page buttons (too small, too low, and backwards; it uses PageUp/PageDown logic, and I'm used to Forward/Back logic). The PocketBook 360 had nice buttons, and an integral hard cover, but the Kindle had a slightly better screen, slightly bigger (not a big issue: I was either going to move up or down a half inch from the EB1150), for less money (though at the cost of more conversions), so I went with that.
