Well, in 2010 …
Well, in 2010 PixelQi will start selling their displays for netbook makers. These are the people behind the screen used in the OLPC which supports two modes: a normal one, and another one designed to work in direct sunlight, turning off the backlight. Works pretty much like an e-reader. Just wait for them.

The netbook is the …
The netbook is the same s#t as a laptop. Its the same specific thing that an old laptop with the sames or similar properties that you can found on a whatever laptop and you can do the same things. A less consuming CPU? Right, but is the same thing. If anyone call laptop today’s smart phone its a moron, because the smart phone have cpu, ram, etc, the same thing as PS3, Xbox 360, but the properties, flexibility and operations of this peripherals does not work in the same way of a laptop.

Yeah I thought the same, its as good as a reader, plus you can do things you cant do with a reader, but id like to know about the weight difference?

According to that …
According to that logic your Fujitsu laptop is also a supercomputer.

IF we are going to …
IF we are going to call a netbook a laptop, because it has a CPU and can show webpages, read ebooks and perform basic tasks, then by that logic we will have to call today’s smart phones laptops also.
My ipod touch can probably do more than your old lifebook too, but that does not make it a laptop.

Obviously you didn’t read any books the last few years

I do all these …
I do all these things with my netbook as well. Since it is a tablet, I also take it to class when I’m teaching, instead of the book I am using. However, I also do have two e-book readers. Try sitting outside in a park on a bright summer day with the netbook. Be dazzled by the black screen. Suddenly, an e-book becomes a very attractive option.

A netbook *is* a laptop.
It may be somewhat less powerful than we’d like, but really is, that your netbook, is way, way, way, way… more powerful than my Fujitsu Lifebook, for which I paid a of a lot more.

Technically, it a netbook, not a laptop.
But it is similar in price to the Kindle, and it does a whole lot more than the kindle.
IF you want a REALLY small ebook reader that is ultra portable, and reliable with very good battery life, I would recommend an Ipod Touch.
I use my touch to do all sorts of things and it fits in my shirt pocket.

An important thing …
An important thing I never mentioned in this video is that you can do a LOT more than just read books with this netbook.
Yes, when I bought this netbook that was my only intention, but I have since installed several games on it to entertain my children.
You can even make it into a portable movie player, which is great to keep the children from getting bored on a long drive.

My laptop had a …
My laptop had a glossy screen, while this nice little netbook has a matte screen, which dramatically cuts down on glare. In fact, the sun can wash out the colors in direct light, but I never can see any reflection on it.
Very happy with the purchase.

cons: less readable …
cons: less readable in the sun (no E-ink)
and uses power to display… e-readers mostly use battery only to switch pages. no energy used to just display (like a conventional book)
after all i think you spend less time waiting pages to load with your netbook.

what’s the program called?? ee rotate?..can i get a link?..i can’t find it..

good idea, I …
good idea, I actually made this decision before seeing this video
but you missed an important thing: Eye straining, which is definitely obvious in reading from Pc screens,
but the solution is simple, adjust light to a very faint light & change contrast to be the closest thing to black and white, this will probably make eye straining the least ever
but comparing benefits, e-reader definitely doesn’t worth its price & purpose
thanks for the nice idea

i went for the sony prs 700 it has pdf’s for all my engineering and calculus books and it was only $350 from crutchfield.
i already have a 17 and 13 inch laptop that i turned on their side like you did but it doesn’t compare to e-paper.

Hello moechock….
I put a lot of thinking into to, and I came to the same conclusion.
One of the best things about this model is that the battery lasts a long time. They call it “full day” computing… but it’s a 7 hour battery. I usually get about 6 hours 20 minutes out of it.

I actually put some thinking into it and it’s best if I buy one of these small notebooks I guess than buying a ebook reading device, so I have a question, how long does the battery last?
