Thats surprising but I am not sure if I have to agree . I got kindle for my dad who really wants tablet features and was expecting a touch device because he owns a touch screen phone . I am guessing that he uses it only if he has some reference books and uses the home wifi to check out wikipedia page . The best thing he liked in Kindle is the internal dictionary where you highlight a word and get the meaning . Also a TTS was welcome but not so usable thanks to the voice . OTOH I have a netbook and I do read lot of books on it and am kind of happy with it . Netbooks are damn cheap and we get to do almost everything we want on it other than huge graphical tasks . A netbook with good battery life and the least possible weight is a good competitor .
