At this point,I don't have much to lose with the netbook-I've only had it maybe 15 or 16 days now-and originally was keeping it as a machine for light work,web surfing et al.It is only now that I'm without my main laptop that I use it for some of the web based work stuff I need to do....as for my reader-I reformatted it (a few times actually...because once I connect it..I have to in order to break the loop)-I've got my library (minus feeds) on my Memory Stick,and now some newer stuff I downloaded the other day on the SD card-worse case...I can't use the devices with the netbook-even after restore...best case,I resolve this issue,and that also helps the *other* set of devices in the house ( a 505/netbook combo,mine has the larger HD so I would eventually have liked to use this as a "fun" machine including housing my elibrary back up..but alas maybe that is not to be).
Upside-at least I now can read again
from my reader.... was a bit of a tough day or so without ANY of my books.
