I don't think the Kindle is ugly at all but I spent my early adulthood on very old devices. (Commodore 64, first HP PC, Atari, the TI computer with the cassette tape drive, heck I even learned how to use a slide rule!) I also spent a large part of my college career hanging out in the computer lab feeding the card reader.
The Kindle has that kind of a retro feel to me. The only thing I'd change, right now, are the side buttons but I've already adapted to them.
