I have three different Clie models--one B&W, which runs on AAA batteries (screendeath), one color (battery won't hold a charge at all), one extra-thin (screen glitchy; flashes too much). Three different kinds of battery; three slightly different arrangement of buttons and dials. I loved that they all worked with Palm OS4. (The extra-thin is, I believe, the Peg-SJ30, but I could be mixing it up with another.)

The complex naming schemes are why I gave up on them; I couldn't figure out what was "a little bit of an upgrade." Also can't figure out what other PDAs have the features I most cared about, which had more to do with the exact placement of the "click for next page" button than anything listed on the review sites. Bleh. I'd love another one, but I'm not spending any effort to find one; since they're entirely unsupported anymore, they're risky tech.

I'm familiar with Baen; I have several of their ebooks.
