Asus Eee PC 1005HA-H of BeBook

Hi,

I'm looking after a device which allows for comfortable reading of ebooks.
Problem is that the books are in different formats (prc,lit,lrf and pdf,some html).
After doing some searching only 1 reader and several netbook seem to have what I need.
Price is comparable but how suited are both for long duration reading?
Currently i'm using a normal laptop or PDA for reading depending on what.
Laptop for work (mostly pdf) and PDA recreational but both are straining for the eye after a long period.
Also the laptop (15,4") is kind of heavy and big to use easy in a "lazy chair".
The netbook has the added value of a being a "normal" laptop, but has weight and size against it.
The bebook is only reading and no more, but is small and light.

Any advice is welcome.

Regards

Check out the SmartQ 7, the Archos 7(saw something at slickdeals where you can get a refurb for around $200ish), Asus EEE T-91 or the not-yet-released Archos 9.
