I like using a laptop for books as well, and it's great when you can download the pgn's that go along with the book. I just don't like playing games against the computer while on the computer.

could you tell more about shredder's style? is it defensive, positional, aggresive?
I don't think Rybka 3 has any serious bugs discovered yet, could you give examples?
