Kindles are fugly (have they been constructed from lego?) and seem to have really appalling contrast ratio (dark grey text on light grey backgrounds) that make them look like literary Etch-a-Sketches. I want to do what people do with Kindles (read! download books instantly!) but I would like a better-designed one. Oh yes, and one that worked in the UK.

I think the Beeb caught one of those in action...
