They are indeed nice devices, and people I know who own them treasure them.
If anything, I think Sony got
too creative. There were
how many different Clie models produced? They wound up competing with themselves. I think they might have done better with fewer models and higher sales for the models they did produce. Might not have kept management from pulling the plug, however.

To my way of thinking, as long as my reader (or for the most part any other electronic gadget I own) is under warranty, I'll get it fixed. If it breaks down after the warranty has expired it's time to go shopping for something new and better.

The only fly in that ointment is the content you view on the device. Will it play on whatever you go to next? This is one reason I'm less than thrilled by Sony's LRF format. Nothing else currently supports it. Of course, if you are a MobileRead participant, you learn about Calibre and you have options, but the vast majority of reader users aren't and haven't.

Just wish my Clie would finally die, so I'd have a reason to replace it!!

Sell it. Lots of Clie fans out there looking for a spare, or a model they don't have.
But what would you replace it with?
