If you don't have something to put between a netbook and lap, it could get very uncomfortable as some netbooks get very hot.

I definitely think economically, in times like these, the netbook comes out way out ahead. For the same price or a hundred or so dollars more, you get a real computer.

I'm guessing one day, netbooks will have battery life comparable with ebooks and an e-ink screen mode and the ereader will be a small niche market, but that's a long way off.
