I am not sure why everyone’s trying to make e-book readers out of netbooks and laptops. Portable computers are already capable of displaying e-books, and with the introduction of Kindle for PC, you’ll have a much easier way to consume content on your netbook on the go. But if you are still too picky, you can always pick up the eDGe. eDGe is a multi-purpose device that is designed for people who want to get an e-book reader, a notebook computer, and an audio/video recorder all in one device. It’s designed for people who want to get more work done on the road without having to carry out multiple gadgets.

As you can tell, the device is more of an ebook reader than a netbook. It doesn’t have too much memory, and I doubt you’ll be able to run your resource intensive applications on this netbook. But it does let you do more browsing that you can on Kindle and other similiar devices. Certainly not for everyone but an innovative thought by the people at enTourage.
