Larry,

Take a look at our web site for readers. We have use and like our Eee PCs. We have had them for a few years now. And I do list them as one way of reading. They will read all the types of books and our Eee's can be set to read in wide, or on the side just like a book.

BUT, (don't ya just hate the buts?) they, or any computer screen is a lot harder to read than a book or standard E-Reader. They also use a LOT more power than an E-Reader. Granted, the netbooks use a lot less than a standard computer, but still a lot more than the E-Reader.
