Hard to say.  On the one hand, the Eee is 'just a PC', so if you have a
PC-based PDF reader that has a user interface that you like, then "Yes". 
On the other hand, the Eee is 'just a PC', so if you don't like the
interface you can find some better software.

Maybe you won't like the clamshell-style opening case, and the
ever-present keyboard (I see the Words Gear has a fold-over flap to
protect the screen).  Maybe you should look at a Kohjinsha instead (it'll
fold back like a tablet)?

Anyway, so far it would seem that no-one here has actually seen a Words
Gear and so they cannot give you a first-hand opinion.  Me neither, sorry.
