The neat thing about using netbooks to read ebooks is that the Intel graphics driver allows you to rotate the screen display to portrait mode with hotkeys, so you can get full book pages onscreen. (The options are in the menus when you right-click the tray icon for the Intel driver.) So, hotkey-rotate the screen, fullscreen the reader program, and you come pretty close to a Kindle but without the greyscale one-trick-pony aspects. I prefer having the display on the right with the keyboard on the left, but to each their own.
