But those are metal, right? With plastics, colouring the whole thing through could be much easier.

(Just tried to examine my Hanlin, but it doesn't have any scratches deep enough to tell how it's done.)

Personally, I'm liking the glossy finish, but I'm sure decalgirl will have skins for it if it's such a problem for you.

I certainly wouldn't intentionally damage it.

I thought there would be something etched into the device to identify it as a special thing.

Maybe. But there has been no word on that. Just a possible sleeve case. Still though I wouldnt want to walk around with a HP etched ereader. I want mine to represent all literature.(I do like HP though) Still may get one though and sell it to the HP nerds for a profit.

I'm not interested in HP. Just thinking that those who are big HP fans would want to make a statement with such a device. That's why I thought some sort of "mark" would add some perceived value to the device. Memorabilia.

Yup. If it does come etched it will become a collectable over the years.
