Nice review, sounds like you love it. This "black bezel" thing is a bit of an optical illusion. The bezel is actually the same grey/metallic colour of the rest of the Kindle, however when you look at it straight on it looks black. It you go ahead and tilt your Kindle at various angles and look at the bezel you'll see the colour is the same as the surrounding material. This is also why the Kindle appears different based on how it's photographed.
It does seem to make for a better reading experience, and I'm sure Amazon did it for that very reason. Very cool effect.
