Probably the new Netbook is the Chromebook.
I have Linux Mint installed on that particular netbook, and it's perfectly useful. Android on it runs lighter and faster, and you get access to all the Google Play apps.
Personally, an Android tablet will do 90% of what I would use any computer for, and be a better form factor as a music player and ereader. I have Kindle, Moon+, Google Books, and Fbreader on my 7 inch tablet with the external sdcard holding hundreds of ebooks.
I have several Linux computers, but I really only use my Chromebook (mostly for word processing) and my tablets for most of my computer use. Haven't used Microsoft for anything in ages.
Another useful thing about a tablet as an ereader, if you read a lot of Project Gutenberg ebooks, you can save the ebooks to Google Drive, Onedrive, or Dropbox and access those online folders on your tablet to almost instantly access and read the ebook.
