Yup, that could be a solution too, but I think that a dedicated device is better suited for this task. I could read the papers on my home PC (although the laptop offers something more than the desktop, mobility), but I'd like to avoid the...multitasking that a full-fledged computer offers! It's definitely another option though, and one that I'll take into consideration if and when the DX is made available outside of the US. As it stands, I think that compared to a 6 inch device a netbook is superior.
