Sarah,

Thanks for taking your time answering to my thoughts with such seriousness. I must admit I agree with your view on the EE and I am please to clearly learn Entourage is a serious company in term of pure customer support. That is relief.

For the Asus EEE 800, I read a few "reviews" from italian guys as the product is available there and it seems it is delicate to use the device indoor with specific lighting source and aslo when the ambiant lighting of the room is poor.
I got a confirmation of this in two videos on youtube like this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akPodZdkqQ0 . As you will see the lightning conditions are very specific !!!
As from now there is only a "minority" of sources that talk about the issue on this device. This seems to be quite similar to the pixel-qi screens like the Notion-ink Adam tablet.

If you don't plan to use it for reading in bed with a poor small table light like me you should be fine.

Laurent.
