I agree: It's charmingly ugly!

It has a kind of charm like an old black-and-white television, like the one I had when I watched the Howdy Doody Show with that pug-ugly Buffalo Bob and his evil Howdy Doody playmate who was always trying to escape from my locked closet with his long fingernails scraping - always scraping against the closed door - and how in the morning when I opened the door, I would find a Howdy Doody tooth with a long root attached and that tooth lying on the floor and those long gashes in the wood and Howdy Doody looking up at me with that evil grin on his face, and I knew....yes, it was then that I knew true evil.

The Kindle 1 has that same charmingly ugly look to it.
