I've got both a Sony Reader and a small EEE. The battery life on the EEE is about 3 hours and it's quite heavy to hold. You can arrange to rotate the screen so as to hold it like a book.
The Sony is much lighter and more pleasant to read with, in my opinion. And the battery lasts for a long time. The result is that I almost never use the EEE for reading, when there's the option of using the Sony.
