I've had a number of devices, and generally prefer the light coloured ones over the black because of the "disappearing" effect. The black ones have always had more of a "device" feel. I think the white Kindle 2 was designed like it was (flat and thin) to emulate a piece of paper. With the new pearl screens it will probably appear even more so. The white does make the screen appear slightly darker grey, but it's not something I've ever thought made enough difference in the appearance of contrast.
