Eee vs. Kindle for typing.

I have both the Eee Asus and the Kindle. I certainly don't recommend the Kindle for typing content. The Eee is much better, but the keybard is a little small for my touch typing fingers, but I can learn anything. But I think I prefer my Toshiba Laptop over both. I bought the Eee for portability, even though the Toshiba Laptop isn't too bad to carry around -- but can't come close to the Eee for real portabiloity.

I enjoy reading very much -- hence the Kindle. But I also enjoy writing, and get many of my creative ideas while reading the writings of others. But I really hate being stuck at home to type, as that kills my creativity. So both the Eee and the Kindle match my needs perfectly.

The Kindle was a snap to learn -- it's great, simple, and does exactly what I want it to do. But I still have to learn to "master" the Eee -- it is different, especially in Linus mode, which I have never used before. But it looks great, and just need to spend the time to really get acquainted with it.
