This is great news for netbooks, but ebooks don't have much to worry about yet.
And turning off the backlight does not make a screen e-Ink. E-Ink is a company that makes the technology we have grown to associate with eBook Readers but just because you can read something in daylight does not make it E-Ink. There is a lot of fluff and errors in the report.
