Hi there. Bought the 4G Eee for my dad for Xmas, he was thrilled and has been enjoying this thing greatly! I've had a bit of time playing with it as I am looking for a new ereader myself. I have a dell Axim which is not about 3-4 years old; bought a Ebookswise 1150 about 3+ weeks ago and found it not as easy as the ads claim in "reading" file formats other than its own. Actually you have to do so much editing, it really is not worth it.
So am looking at the 2G Eee for myself as an ebook reader. I have a fair number of ebooks, about 250+, mostly in html format so I want to be able to transfer or download the file I want and move it quickly onto whatever reader I choose.
From the little that I've played with the Eee - it looks just that easy and because of the html file format just transfer (if not downloaded directly) onto the hard drive and open in firefox. Any text format or adobe format will also just pull up the related program, with no problems that I've seen yet. So far this unit at $299 is at the top of my list, although apparently there will be a couple other models out this new year by other manufacterers which I may also look at.
Anyways, I'd say the Eee looks good!
