The startup time for the Eee is about 10 seconds, and that's when it's being slow. Shutdown is performed with the simple one click of an "off" icon in the lower right hand of the screen (this "off" graphic is always present) and the total shutdown time is a whopping 5 seconds. We've all been ruined by slow hard drives and a bloated Windows OS I know, but I felt kind of giddy with glee seeing such fast startup and shutdown.

不过ebook我大多是拿来搜索用,对哪个chapter有兴趣,都是print出来看

The problem of reading ebooks with computer is that the book is in portrait and the orientation of the computer screen is landscape.

Actually I think this book reading machine is very attractive:

Now they are selling it for evaluation at 2.5 million yen (~ US$22k) for 10 units.  Hopefully, beginning next year they will put them on the shelf for about  $400.  I will definitely get one.

for pdf file, you have to convert it to the ebook format. unacceptable.

同意MC。笔记本不管怎么说都有发热，电池寿命等问题。整不好，再来个自燃，就更可怕了。一直在想，哪天能看到可折叠的EBOOKS呢？是有机还是无机材料做的呢？

It seems that this device uses Windows CE 5.0 as OS.  Thus, it supports all the window's sh*ts (words, excel, powerpoint), plus it also supports pdf and image files (png, jpg etc.).  I think djvu may be a problem but pdf should be okay.   

Actually the thing I worry about is the price.   The so far best ebook reader, Iliad from Phillips, is $750.  Note that it shows only black and white.   So,  the colorful Fujitsu's one might starts selling at $800-1k instead of $400 I guessed before.
