I also just have no need for a Netbook. I was thinking of one for casual netsurfing etc., but after trying to do streaming video (Hulu, ESPN360, Netflix etc.) on a few and having playback issues I scrapped that idea as that would be a big usage for me.
I'll just stick with my work laptop, and maybe pick up a 12" or so laptop if I see a deal somewhere that has enough memory and a decent enough video card to do streaming HD video.

I just tried Hulu on my old laptop -- which I use to play internet radio through my stereo -- and no-go. I was hoping maybe I could use it to watch on my TV. so tried my Acer netbook and no-go there either. I guess if I'm going that direction I'll need either an new/faster laptop or desktop for that video function (my desktop works fine, but I'm not dedicating it video duties)
As far as reading even a netbook is really not portable enough for me, I read in bed and while walking and curled up in a chair or couch and my Sony 505 or kindle2 is just much more usable and comforatable.
