Netbook as the multi-task answer to the Kindle

Interesting post here about using an Acer Net-b instead of the Kindle. The Kindle obviously has a cool factor but it is limited in functionality (reference Alton Brown's wisdom on uni-taskers). I mean if you really want to read books on a screen, why not use a machine that you can read, do work, network, connect to wi-fi, etc.?













Movie quote:

Don: Now Lincoln - he needed a good reason to start a war with the South. So what he did was he hired some Ninjas to come up there with their samuri swords, and their throwing stars and magic and they busted the Liberty Bell. BAM! Civil War! We're in it thick. Brother against brother. Ok, you got it? You're not gonna get this anywhere else you're gonna get it here - history class. KNOW YOUR PAST!
