Anyone have a netbook?

I'm seriously considering buying a netbook, most likely Asus 1000 HE. I don't have a laptop and I like the idea of having something portable for writing or even for reading ebooks away from the desk. I considered a Kindle for reading, but the netbook obviously has additional uses and it's in the same price range.

This model has 10-inch screen, so slightly larger keyboard than most netbooks and weighs 3.5 lbs (1.5kg), so it's lighter than most. 8 hour battery life & built in wireless/bluetooth.

If you have experience, good or bad, with netbooks, I'd love to hear your opinions, especially in terms of how I'm looking to use this. Thanks.
