I didn't mean to imply that eBook readers should not be capable or running advanced OS and apps, or that they should not have color backlighted displays. My emphasis was on the size/portability. I can fit a Sony or other 6" reader in a manbag and I can fit a jetBook or N800 in my pocket. I cannot fit a netbook in either. I have a nice little Targus netbook case for my eee, but when I carry that it's pretty obvious what it is I'm carrying. A computer!

My N800 is a very capable computer, more capable than the first several generations of computer that I owned; but unless they look closely, no one would know that I have it in my pocket.
