Shiny is poorer than matte?
I do have a shiny alloy Sony PRS-350 (curiously not too distracting) and an all white Y-ben P47L (discolouring badly). The Kindle DXG and Kindle K3 are both matte dark grey (hence "Graphite") which is nice, but all the others are black. Screen quality, size (for purpose) and not too heavy.

My black bezel Toshiba TV is more annoying than a silver Sony TV I saw because it's very shiny and large at the bottom, so a reading lamp reflects off it. I'll maybe attack it with very fine grit sanding paper.

White plastic can get shabby quickly and the rubbery finishes discolour badly if pale.

I think the size of margin affects how distracting or not a bezel is.
