update on Asus 1000HE

So I've had this for about 3 weeks or so.

It does everything promised, battery life is outstanding, keyboard excellent, and since I"m using wireless mouse, no problems with touchpad.

I don't use half the stuff it comes with.......bluetooth, camera.

But, for me, here's the best part. After whining about not having the Kindle these last few weeks, I finally took a chance and downloaded mobipocket reader, and moved some of my books over from my laptop.

I gotta say, I'm finding the reading experience pleasant. maximized the screen, enlarged the font a tad, set it on a laptray(see picture) kick back in recliner, and read away.

The contrast is better than on the kindle, the screen larger, and the page turn is instantaneous.

No 'flash' and suprisingly, I'm not feeling the eye strain some talk about.

Thanks for all the input. This is a keeper.
