Wow! Beautiful stuff. Too bad it costs as much as the Kindle itself.

I know, right? I would love to paint mine black... but I'd change those green buttons to the bright orange color. I'd also have the keyboard black. But $200? Ouch.

I think it's nice, but not quite $200 nice!  Especially when you can get a similar look with a $20 skin & you don't have to ship your Kindle off. |

At risk of voiding the warranty, I'm sure, one could disassemble and paint the parts, or with careful masking... I'd want gloss-metalic-black with chrome buttons and I'd need an artist to paint a classic GTO on the back

$200 to have a color? Perhaps Amazon will offer colors in one of the kindle's future generations, much as Apple has with its ipods.

No personal appeal here. My KK Aurora is beautiful in her Velvet Jewel DG skin and for $14.99 very affordable which means that we can change her attire anytime we want without either of us leaving the house. lol

I think it would be cool if Amazon would offer a black Kindle, matte black would be perfect. This would really help with the perceived contrast of the screen.

But I'd have to find someone who can apply polish without smearing it. Betsy |

Don't ask Susan, she'll just tell you that surely someone in your neighborhood could teach you how to do it!  |

Looks great, PinkKindle!
As for the gazillion dollar custom painted Kindle, I'm a DIY kinda gal. I'd probably end up buying the wrong spraypaint, though. The kind that eats through plastic.
