I got my new EEE PC with Windows preloaded yesterday. Played with it a bit and wasn't sure if I was going to keep it or not. I had actually been looking at a Kindle, for the same price as the EEE PC, for a while. Then, I went and got the EEE PC instead (yes, mostly as a toy -- I already have a 20" iMac and 13" MacBook). Wasn't sure if I liked it or not -- the screen does take some getting used to, not to mention the tiny keyboard.

Loaded up EReader Pro on it (for Windows), since I already have a "bookshelf" of dozens of books purchased online from ereader.com. I have been reading them for years on my Treos and I have had no problems with them, other than the constant page turns. Anyway got eReader Pro loaded up and was still kind of 50/50 on it, UNTIL I saw the screen rotation trick above. My gosh, that made all the difference in the world! It's a keeper for me now. I compared it to my friends Kindle and I like my setup better. Sure, ePaper is okay, but I like the backlit screen, since I read in bed and my hubby hates the light being on. With the screen rotated my setup was every bit as acceptable as the Kindle. Thanks to the person that posted that.

BTW, while there are skeptics who don't like reading on an electronic device (which is fine, to each his own), there are some of us who have no problem whatsoever with it. I ALWAYS look for books I am interested in electronic format BEFORE i go and buy a hard copy as a last resort.
