Even if the libraries are free -- it costs time and money to get to the library. And what if you live in a small town or anywhere the selection is not to your liking?
And if I liked reading on a computer screen I would use my laptop and not spend 100s on a netbook that is both a lousy reader and a lousy computer. If I just want something I can always take with me to read a chapter or browse a little then I can just use my phones. But neither give me a reading experience like the dedicated reader. So the way I see it a netbook is the actual "dork status symbol", unless you buy it as your only computer because you can't afford anything else.
