I love my Kindle, but it is pretty
"out there" in terms of shape. The Kindle is better appreciated when you actually see and hold one. Pictures rarely do it justice.
I get comments all the time from strangers who see it and they think it looks better in person. I was sitting in a comfy chair at Borders reading it (while my girlfriend was shopping for p-books), and lots of people were very interested in it. I was happy to stop reading and give a demo, but it started to get to get in the way of my reading. Mostly 40ish year-old women were excited by it and the idea of having so many books one easy-to-use device--I was pretty surprised.
Most computer geeks I know think it's ugly but regular people seem to really enjoy it. The opposite reactions of what I would have expected. Sorta like the VW bug I suppose. You either hate it or love it.
