Great battery life, light.Great for ebooks. I wish there was a laptop option as well, like HP's old Omnibook. Color is not required for many applications.

Or like the Gameboy Color's screen, you NEEDED external light to see it.

There are now cheap backlight+better LCD mods for the GBC, though. Backlight LCD >>>> ambient light LCD.
