Plus with calibre it's easy to keep your library in mobi too (files are too small anyway) and makes the closed garden thing of the kindle really a non issue.
I like that I can buy from amazon, have them back everything up, access my annotations (which work like a charm) from everywhere, and get all the amazon perks in general and also be able to put in there whatever epub I want, via calibre's piece of cake epub to mobi.
And it feels great to have stable, bug free software to use. Even the browse is really neat, article mode works great. I wish they'd add a copy past thing system wide, a proper rss reader and a notepad, but at least for the last two there are work arounds.
I simply love my kpw, and it's not just that the screen is gorgeous, it's because the software has given me a very enjoyable bug free experience, where I could focus only on what I want to do, that is read and annotate.
It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact which type of bezel produces better perceived contrast for the text on the screen of the device. I too like white bezels more, so I am of the same opinion that I prefer them, I said as much. Perceived contrast though is indeed better with a dark bezel around the device as a matter of fact, what can we do about it, it just is. Even if someone opines that with a white bezel they perceive a better contrast on the text of their device than with a dark bezel, their opinion is simply not correct, they are mistaken, that's simply not the case.

Having owned ereaders with both white and black bezels, my preference is for black. You may well be right regarding the research on the merits of white/black bezels. Rather than saying "Your opinon doesn't matter", I think it would have been better if you had just said "Current research states..." Perhaps I am over-sensitive but I am just sharing my opinon.
