Handstory said that some upcoming version would have an option to leave files where they are and not move them all, but I don't see that listed in their problem fixes for 2.1

Very nice having multiple viewers in one program.
It definitely saves memory over installing, eg, Avantgo, Tealdoc, and Fireviewer.
UI is very good - can switch between docs, images, etc. with one button and between different categories with another.
Desktop UI is also great - very easy to send text, web pages (either as doc or "clip"), or images to your Palm. Image conversion is especially easy.
Web Clips work great. Works fine on web pages with images.
Many good Web Clips provided on their site.
And here's what still could be improved:
Converted images take up significantly more space than Fireviewer images and much bigger than original JPEG! Eg: jpeg=17k, fireviewer=34k, and handstory=61k! Oops, there goes all the space you saved by combining programs!
You can copy text from Docs, but not from Web Clips.
Would really like a button that lets you close a document, instead of having to press a small x on the screen.
New "Clip Editor" is not for your ordinary Palm user. You really need to know how to program to use it. (But you dont need clip editor if you just want to clip the entire page as is, similar to using AvantGo's custom channels.)
Selection of clips on HandStory's site is not as diverse or as sizable as AvantGo's channels. Noticeably missing (for me) is New York Times and Handheld Computing Weekly. Also, no good site for local weather.
Handstory does not update their clips page very often, either. The poor selection would at least be more tolerable if they were aggressively adding new ones.
Overall, as I said, it's a great program. You really have to try it to see how easy it is to convert docs and images.
Hope this has been helpful,
