Do not .... I repeat ... do NOT purchase a Kindle. Keep in mind that you do not like the way it looks. Anything that you think has aesthetics that "suck" should not be on your list of things to purchase. Screen breakage rates aside. If it's not going to be something you love, then there is no way it's worth $360 to you ... unless you throw that sort of money out with the trash every day ... in which case, knock yourself out.
However, assuming that price is important, and given that you really hate the way the Kindle looks ... I'd suggest a Sony. Just be careful with it ....
