Pee Wee as an ebook reader?

Anyone got thoughts on the new Pee Wee Pivot Tablet Laptop that's just been announced on SlashGear?

link http://www.peeweepc.com

I've often wished my Asus had a swivel screen so I could use it to read ebooks in comfort.

I know this gadget is aimed at rugrats but I could live with that. I'd like to know if it has a jog button and other control buttons available when you're using it in tablet mode.

I'm currently using an Acer c200 tablet as a pdf ebook reader. It does a fine job with buttons on the tablet to manipulate pdf's without resorting to the pen. But the Acer is large and bulky to hold and carry around. The Pee Wee looks like it might be better.

Hopefully, Asus and other netbook makers will copy the Pee Wee and make their screens swivelable.

Ummm --- I should have asked Mr Google first. The Pee Wee is a re-badged Intel Classmate Convertible PC available from other vendors cheaper and without the kiddy stuff loaded on it.

And it looks like it DOESN'T have any buttons on the tablet frame so you'd need to touch the screen to turn pages etc.
