I chose a white Libra H20 and like the way the white frame opens up the page--more like reading a print book. If available, I'd choose a white e-reader again, but would be happy with black. Anyone else have a preference? Do you think it makes any difference to the reading experience?

I didn't receive any survey email.
I had two white Sony readers, T-1 and T-2 and I loved them. (Still have the T2.) I also had a Nook Wifi that was white. That particular reader I rehomed within a year, but it wasn't because of the color.
I ordered my first Kobo in white (Aura HD), but thanks to warranty issues on two separate white devices, I ended up with a working device in espresso brown and got used to it, even if it wasn't my preference. So I'm over the device color thing. Most of it, other than the bit around the screen is hidden by a case anyway.
It's cases that I want color choice on. I love the light green case on my Sage!
Would I have bought a white Sage if it had been a choice? Possibly. But I like the contrast between the light cover and the black device, so possibly not.
I just want Kobo to continue making great e-readers, if confining device color choice to basic black helps with that, I'm good. If they opt to continue a color choice, also good!
