Same here, with an old Toshiba M200.
Agree for the clumsy/akward feeling (compared to my "regular" ebook reader, a Dell PDA).

Some netbooks are going to (alreay are ?) 10", with tablet mode. That should be big enough for pdf, and lighter/smaller (the M200 is quite thick). Anyway, since I bought my tablet (Dec 08) planning to use it at least half the time as a pdf reader, I've read maybe 400 pages on it. But as a small laptop which i can take everywhere (not like my 17") to program on it, I'd like it a lot
