Untrue. It's really more of a gray, heh. I see your point. Then again, it's merely an electronic alternative to a paper book. Graphing calculator design hasn't changed much in 15 years, maybe 20 (and their price hasn't gone down much either; $125+ for the good ones, yipes). Microwave oven design has stagnated. Dedicated devices tend to hit a design ceiling, I think.
I'd like to see an improved display and cpu for the Kindle, but other than that I would be fine with the form factor staying that way forever.
