Full agreement. I love reading novels, poetry, non-fiction on my ebooks, but hate it on my computer or netbook.
Ebook is useable anywhere for days at a time and feels, acts, appears, works just like a book, the netbook feels, acts, appears, works just like a computer. I tried reading in bed with my netbook just before I got my first ebook reader and which it was possible, it just wasn't really usable.
