I bought a Sony rather than a Kindle mostly because of price considerations, but the fact I thought the Sony was pretty and the Kindle was not factored in as well. If the Kindle had looked just like the Sony I might have shelled out the extra bucks for the convenient wireless access.

Since this thread is mostly guesses about what Amazon could be doing to improve the Kindle, I can't see how it is unreasonable for people to note that its appearance could be improved. Some people like the current appearance, which is fine, but some people like the 5" screen and I don't see them getting upset when people suggest a larger form factor would be an improvement...
Indeed, I didn't really want to insult anyone. Just throwing that out there.
