Better
Well, I don't want to sound like an ad for Sony but...
The Clie I bought has rapidly become indispensable. Much like the microwave oven I saw no need for before I owned one and within a short time found I could not imagine living without :-)
I even managed to get the collapsible keyboard working after Belkin support recommended that I download the latest drivers from their web site.
E-books is still the main thing of course ;-) I'm reading several of them at once, along with the bible and Daily Office.
