When I noticed I'd read over fifty novels in a year on my Clié, that was how I knew I was comfortable reading ebooks on a tiny screen.
In a lot of ways, I preferred it to the Reader I have now. Only took one hand, even on a crowded bus; fit in my pocket; could read in the dark, which was more important to me than "can read in full sunlight."
When all three of my Cliés died (one dead screen; two with battery problems) I decided to switch to currently-supported tech. I like the longer batter life on the Sony Reader (the Cliés kept dying on me mid-book), and I like the navigation better, but I can't say I actually care about the eInk screen or the page size. It's much better for images, and it's nice to have larger-font headers and smaller-font footnotes, but it's also more bulky, and I keep getting nervous about people reading over my shoulder.
