There's absolutely nothing wrong with the use of modern high-density plastics as a constructional material; they are every bit as good as aluminium, which the Sony is made from.
There is also the entirely practical point that the Kindle could not have a metal case unless it had some kind of external antenna, because the metal would block the 3G cellular signal.
