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

The OP should try an HP 2730p Tablet PC. 12" screen, 3.7 lbs., with 5+ hrs. battery life. Portrait Mode is a great reading experience. Read PDFs using the program PDF Annotator instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader and you can ink your notes directly in your handwriting, highlight, all sorts of things.

Very suitable until the ultimate large color e-ink device is invented.
