    Well, I just started to use my I9 yesterday...And, so far no problems viewing vid's on youtube, and such. I like the view of the screen, it's small...but that is what the I9 is for..Things like portability, net usage, etc :D

    I haven't tried any ebooks yet..Will have to download one from the library and see how that works. :D Once, I get one downloaded I can provide some feedback. I'm sure there are peeps around that will also, be able to advise!

    I think this is more about your personal preferences than what other people think. Try resizing a pdf window to 8.9" on your XPS and see how you get on with that.

    If you are looking for a ebook reader why not look at the Kindle?
