I agree. The graphite color of the unit helps it look good (lite colors show dirt more) even if it has a smudge of dirt on it or something. And like Jeff Bezos said Hemingway isn't going to pop any better in color than it does in B&W. And reading books is what a Kindle is for first and foremost. And as for being cool I think the fact that I can hold up to 3,500 books right in the palm of my hand is plenty cool enough. I'm always struck by how the Kindle reminds me of the P.A.D.D. from STTNG when I hold it.

I recently wanted to try some books by an author I loved as a teenager. I found the covers, the info on the flaps, and the pages, needing a bookmark, to be kind of a distraction. You know, I might be talking myself into buying ebooks that are the same price as pbooks!
