After much anguish & wringing of hands & research & VERY good advice from all you folk, I finally made a choice [heck, I didn't take this long to buy a new car].
I've just fired up my ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE netbook, and am trying to learn my way about it. I've been trolling MR for posts on how to turn this puppy into a mean reading maching, and have learned a lot.
I plan on loading Kindle for PC, ADE, & MobiReader - to handle all formats.
What else should I have? Any & all suggestions are welcome & appreciated. I really appreciate all the input I received - you guys rock!
