But yeah, glossy black surfaces due show them bad--like the black bezels on my iPhone and iPad! I've had good results with the InvisibleSHIELD line of screen protectors, but they are an absolute devil to get on correctly. |

My theory is that they wanted to switch to 'not white' . . . possibly in response to customer feedback. So when the K3/Keyboard came out they had the two colors. . . .and they subsequently found that the darker color sold better. So when they were introducing the 4th Gen Kindle and the Touch, they didn't bother with the option.
I wish I had a darker Kindle. I have the original KDX, and I found that it dirties easier. I suppose it helps that I have a skin on it, but regardless, I would have liked the darker one. If I have to choose white vs. black, I always go for black. |

I hated the white. It looked cheap and plasticky-almost toy-like. Plus the dark color really makes the screen look even more gorgeous.

Love my white K1. Love my graphite K4. But I have to say, I never thought much about what color a gadget was as long as it did cool stuff.  Betsy |

I still miss the silver scroll thing that went with the wheel on the K1.

Like and I-phone the white color might be cool to the consumer. Golf drivers have gone the same way. White was the hot item in 2011 for Drivers.
