Do you read your books on it? How is that experience?
I mainly use it for surfing the web during those boring 1-3h brakes in university and sometimes for reading A4 pdfs, but printing them is way better than reading them on a tiny screen(and I can write on them ). ebooks I do not read on it, display resolution is just not good enough, even if it surpasses the cybook's, but then I would have to turn it and I am not sure if the HDD likes that, i gets warm too...

What are the downsides? (Besides the obvious lack of storage/memory)
It could be quieter, cooler and smaller, have higher resolution, more proccessong power and be lighter.

Which one do you have? Why did you get that particular one?
Samsung NC10, because the EEEPC 4G's display reslution was unbearable for me. At release the Samsung's keyboard was one of the biggest and best available, also it had a huge 6 cell battery, was well build and quiet. And non glossy

what is your power source, do you have to find a 'hot spot' for free internet access when you are out an about?
As I use it only in university I have permanent WiFi and power, but since Battery lasts for good 6-8 hours I haven't taken the psu with me since I got it.

Nowadays there are nice little ones with high resolution displays, I'd like to have one of those but to be honest, I do not need it.
