I'm comparing with the Sony505. It doesn't feel cold to the touch like metal, and the Kindle is relatively lighter than the Sony, and it has a little 'give' if you pressure it - I don't think it can be all metal. I tried holding it to my lips as well, since they'd be more sensitive, and the 'metal' feels very slightly colder than the plastic at the top, but nothing like real metal. Perhaps it's a very light coating or layer on top of plastic?

YMMV |
It's not
very smooth, but I have been thinking of getting a silicone cover. I'll see how things work out.
