A netbook will definitely give you more versatility than any tablet ever could, at an equivalent or much lower price.

This LCD device is for people who want an eReader-sized device to read color content - magazines, newspapers, comics, textbooks, childrens books, etc. While a netbook can easily do this, it's handicapped by its larger size and weight.

Again, the Nook Color is NOT for avid readers who consume mostly novels. It's not meant to replace their eInk readers.

The question is, when do people want to bring color into their reading? Now, via the Nook Color and other tablet PCs? or next year when other alternative technologies start to appear that will combine the advantages of both eInk and LCD into one device?
