it would be another good reading device option instead of Kindle. How about IPAD i think this is more friendlier than Kindle and ipad right?

I’ve found my eeepc (FWIW, I find it very difficult to say this and usually resort to e3pc). Whilst I’ve the 7″ screen model, I find it brilliant for eBook reading — keeping in mind, it’s much more than an eBook reader. It’s basically a very slimmed down laptop and can be used for writing, editing, publishing, and so on…

It certainly doesn’t last 9 hours, that’s for sure.

For me the eee usually lasts about two hours, maybe a little more. Which is perfect for short plane trips or reading at home, but might not be suitable if you’re planning a long trip and won’t have regular access to a power supply.

I hadn’t heard of the iRex iLiad before, it looks pretty good.

But how long does the battery last on the eee? I have an Irex Iliad and am happy to get 9 hours. I’ve never seen a better time in a laptop. Does the Eee do better?
