You get more of the things you don't need in a reading device. And you don't get the things you absolutely need in a reading device. Formats, annotation etc is all secondary to just being able to read in comfort, from a device that almost fits into your pocket, in any lighting conditions, for days on end, without worrying about your battery dying. So if you are buying a netbook as a reading device, you get LESS for you money, not more. Value is relative. As a reading device, no netbook is a good value for money, even if it costs 50 bucks, because they are just crappy reading devices, without exception.
