Short answer, No.
The Amiga was primarily renowned for it's graphics capabilities, not
publishing. Even though it was able to perform decent printing tasks,
and there was software to do that, the Amiga had a lack of powerful
printer drivers that would have put it at a level of the Mac (or PC)
for such tasks.
As far as surfing the Internet, I'm not aware if the capability is
beyond that of a PC in the late 90's. There certainly isn't Flash or
other multimedia content software, and I don't know if Java is even
available in a form that's considered modern. As much as I'd like to
get my Amiga online, it'll be cost prohibitive for me to do so. I also
wouldn't expect the same enriched experience you get these days. My
Amiga gets used for games and nostalgic trips through my early 3D
graphics and animation creation.
As for reading a CD. I never had an Amiga configured to read any. I do
recall that it may only be possible to read ISO9600 formatted CDs. The
Joliet standard for modern Windows CDs may not be supported. I refer
that question to anyone else who has more experience working with Cds
on an Amiga.
