Agreed... Amazon should have put a lot
a lot a lot more effort into an attractive design. (It sometimes leads me to suspect that Amazon does not seriously plan to make the Kindle part of its long-term e-book plans... or that this was just a proof-of-concept to get other companies involved in making Amazon-compatible readers.)
