I "chose" this netbook because I got a really good deal on it at shopgoodwill.com
. Aside from all the benefits that a netbook gives in terms of portability, I have a large collection of audio books that I can selectively access over my network without having to transfer via USB or SD flash. Also, since I'm a computer geek, I'm adding enhancements to this nice little goodie. One thing I will do is install software that will let me rotate and enlarge the image so I can hold and read it like a book.
