Amazon still offers a white option in their Basic and Paperwhite eReaders. I (personally) think the black bezels make eInk fonts look a little darker. Maybe with a front-lit eReader (where the screen is whiter) the bezel would look like an extension of the screen – but with the older eReaders (like my Kobo Touch) it just seems to highlight the grayer screen. But, once I'm reading, it really doesn't matter if the bezel is black or white.
