Is the Sony 505 a netbook, is that the entire name of the machine? How about an older Sony Vaio? I have seen 8.9-inch Vaios on E-Bay. Any experience with this as an e-reader?

Are you referring to the VAIO C1 Picturebook Notebook (PCG-C1VN)?

I have a Mini 10v too, though mine came with Windows XP, and I installed Mandriva on it first thing I have the large battery, and I could probably get around 6 hours of it, indeed.

The only thing that I would like to have in the netbook that I do not have is for it to be a convertible so that I could read on it like a tablet.
I've read some scientific journal PDFs in portrait orientation. If you hold the screen with the left hand, you can use the touchpad (or the arrow keys) with the right thumb
