Actually, I was surprised to find color does make a difference...

Up until recently I had 2 silver Sony's. I wound up giving one to a friend but then I succumbed to the siren song of Sangria Red. It arrived yesterday. I was really surprised to find that the red is easier to read than the silver and the red color makes the screen look "less gray". It is like the darker color provides more contrast which makes for easier reading.

So from that standpoint, it would be good if the Kindle also came in other colors.
