For the following reasons:
1.)For most people, not all, a netbook screen is not comfortable to read on.
2.)Battery life. I can take an ereader on a 2 week trip without a charger.
3.)A netbook runs hot.
4.)A netbook is awkward to hold, it can only be comfortably be used when propping it up on a table. How do you read on a netbook while lying down?
5.)A netbook is much heavier.
6.)Why a buy netbook at all? If computers were the answer, then I would just use my laptop. Netbooks are slow with lousy features compared to real laptops. We probably all already have 2 gadgets that can do everything what a netbook can do, our phones and our laptops. I don't feel the need to get another one. Now a tablet that is good enough to replace my laptop with a super screen, that makes sense. But they must still do a lot better for above points 2-5. And good screens are at least 12-18 months away, probably more.
