I found a used Sony Clie at a good price. It fills a niche for a pocket device and gives me an address list in the bargain.

The Clie runs on Palm OS 5 and can apparently support Mobipocket and eReader. I'm assuming that I can't load both formats on one PDA. I want something that will let me read recently published eBooks. But both formats have titles that I want but neither one seems to have everything, so that's a wash.

I'm leaning toward eReader because Fictionwise recommends it, but I wanted to ask for a second opinion. Is there a significant difference between Mobipocket and eReader formats, or does it matter which one I use?
