I've had bad experiences in the past with torrents and the like so I really don't want to get into anything too deep or "techy". But I would like to at least understand some of what most users are using and doing with their own PE's should I ever decide to change my mind.
Could someone please tell me where to I go from here? What would you recommend for someone who is just starting and just would like to play with something safe & simple until they felt comfortable? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
As the others say, learn what your PE can do - then you can decide what you want to do with it.

To give you an example. My EE, that's the big one, is mainly used when I have to go to a client's site to do some work. I have all the manuals I am likely to need on a SD card so I can use them on the e-ink panel. The LCD part allows me to connect to the client's network and, if necessary, transfer files to or from USB attached storage. I have to admit it has a collection of SF stories on it for break time reading and I have google maps, the version that works with out GPS, to enable me to find places as well as using e-mail as necessary.

Other people have other usage habits, it is for you to find what you want to use it for - and as usual, if you have questions, ask.
