I just picked up a Lenovo S10 and a few enhancements -- that are still on the way. I'm upgrading to 2GB RAM from the stock 1GB, and adding a SD card to back up my Sony 505 onto.

Do you like/love it?

Love

Do you read your books on it? How is that experience?

Tried that, but the Sony 505 is way better.

What are the downsides? (Besides the obvious lack of storage/memory)

Actually the S10 has a 160GB drive in it so there's enough storage and room to install your usual office products and email.

The screen is 1024x600 though so there is a lack of screen real estate. But what can you expect from a 10" netbook?

Which one do you have? Why did you get that particular one?

Lenovo S10. Should cost about $330 as of June 2009.

what is your power source, do you have to find a 'hot spot' for free internet access when you are out an about?

I tether to my Pocket PC which has 3g.

One more thing. I'm running Windows 7 RC1 and Office 2007 on this netbook. It boots from hibernate to desktop in about 20 - 25 seconds. That's with 1GB RAM and a standard HD, not a SDHD. Upgrading to a 2GB stick and a SDHD should make this netbook scream.
