Playing with my new Acer netbook that I just got instead of waiting for the Archos 9. I'd never actually SEEN a netbook up close, I didn't know that even the big ones (11.6" screen) were so TINY. One of our local stores had a screaming deal on these, (2 gigs RAM, 250 gig HD), and Chris got one, he's been saving up for one anyway. But after he got his home and unboxed it, and I got to hold it, and take it to the couch and on the bed, I realized this is pretty close to what I was going for. So, we went back and got me one, too. I saw some disturbing reviews about the Archos today, so was already having second thoughts. I think I'm going to be just as happy with this, if not happier. I'll let you know after I get it all set up
Oh...*blush* I also bought the rest of the Donna Andrew's Meg Langslow series at Barnes and Noble. In pbook. (Most of the titles aren't available in ebook, even at Amazon). I got to show off my EZ Reader and discuss the Nook. The store in DeKalb, IL says they won't have the Nook to sell from the store, but that they should be getting their store display "anytime", and they're all really excited.
