The aesthetics bug me a bit, too. I wish the screen took up almost the entire front of the device.

No you don't. You want a large surface to hold the device, to move it from hand to hand, and to not touch/smudge the screen.
No you don't.
Yes, I do. I need a 1/2" frame around the edge of the machine but beyond that, I just want screen real estate. Take a look at the Sony PRS-700BC. That would be the ideal machine if it worked with the Amazon book store (ignoring the 1984-ocalypse)
Well, it's certainly just a personal preference, but I tried both, and liked the Kindle more - I like having my thumb firmly on the bottom part of the device when reading, with Sony's reader I felt constantly afraid of touching the screen.
