So how’s the Eee laptop as a Web browswer and e-book reader?

1. “Webpages look great,” comes the word from a poster at eeeuser.com. No problems. PDF’s look great, I would say no problems at all if you have 1 page across. If you open a book style 2 page across PDF it gets a little crowded and you may have to zoom in and look at one page at a time. Might be a nice ebook reader for those interested. I’ll get back to you on the eyestrain about 12 hours from now- i don’t think it will be a problem though.” What’s more, Mike Cane, who’s eager to get his own Eee, has learned that it comes with a real Adobe reader, 7.0. See photo showing double pages.

2. What’s more, FBReader, which can read .epub, HTML, ASCII, and a bunch of other formats, is also supplied, according to a MobileRead post from Alan Wallcraft.
