Now you see that wouldn't work for me even the simple act of having to move to put the netbook on the night stand would wake me up again.
I've been reading e-books now for over 10 years starting with a Palm IIIc with palmreader through various ipaqs to my current itouch and they've always had the advantage that I can read in the dark and when I fall asleep they just drop out of my hand and switch themselves off.
