True. But I have a netbook, and I don't use it for reading. I use it for checking e-mail and looking up recipes to use in the kitchen. I spend all day working on computers and spend a lot of my free time playing games on computers. So sometimes I actually do NOT want to be:
- Staring at an LCD screen
- Plugged into the wall (I can easily read longer than any laptop battery lasts)
- Worrying about placing it on the carpet when I go get a soda and having the darn thing overheat on me
- Stuck sitting in an upright position (kinda hard to lay on your back reading off a laptop)
Not to mention how nice it is giving my wrists and shoulders a rest from using a mouse. Ouch.
