Great tool, but lacks some functions
on January 9, 2020
Posted by: m321
I'm a musician and use the digital paper mostly for sheet music. It's an amazing tool to study, but for the use on stage it would be an absolute necessity to implement support for bluetooth page turner pedals. With that it would be the perfect tool for musicians and I would love to see that feature coming through an update. As far as I know all the technology is there and it's just held back by the software for no reason. So please, do the musicians around here a favor and add this feature!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I own DPT-S1 and RP1, both are good e papers. Can cover my daily use and organizing my docs easily.
However, I would like to request if it Possible to support:
a. WebDAV Sync -- that's a very helpful resource on DPT-S1
b. Cellphone Sync app --- cell phone is becoming a more and more important access to news, docs, and other information. Will it possible to push some news articles to DPT RP1? That would be great!

Suggestions

Overall it is a good experience to WRITE on rp1, but there is much room for improvement, to make it a really competitive PDF READER against new iPad Pro 12.
1: back-up deleted files. Often I want to recover the deleted files. Occasionally, I delete the FILE but my intention is actually to delete the PAGE. The mistake doesn't happen so often, but when it happens, the consequence is devastating, and there is no efficient way to recover in the current OS. I knew sync-option with Laptop, but honestly, this shouldn't be the merely option.
2: more rich features in editing. At least we should be able to view table of contents and perform cross-reference. The later meaning that once I follow the link of a reference to other pages, I can immediately go back and continue my reading. These are the crucial features for reading paper/book with > 20 pages. Hence I found that rp1 can afford reading for short articles.

Critical flaw - lacks handwriting recognition
on October 5, 2018
Posted by: St12
This is *half* of a great product. The world is and has been waiting for a product like this that can read handwriting to fill forms (PDF forms would be fine). There are many, many applications that require form filling by hand and that are not adequately served by paper forms or by on-screen forms filled whether they are filled by on-screen keyboards or by bluetooth keyboards or by anything less than recognition of handwritten input. I well understand the huge variations in written input that make this a challenge, but this is what will make a device such as this one a major commercial hit. As it is, this is just a niche product because the marks left by the stylus are not machine-readable and thus cannot be processed in a computerized workflow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great thing, a lot of room for improvement

I use it personally and apart from being a great device (hardware) it lacks some features (software). I categorize them for Personal use and for Classroom as I would love to give them to course participants instead of printing packs of paper.
Personal:
Itegration with Dropbox/GoogleDocs/etc.
Dedicated email address to drop docs for on the go (blabla@mysonydpt.com). Pretty much like Kindle
Mountable as USB storage
Major format support: epub, mobi
Single page landscape mode
TOC
Bookmarks

Classroom
Easily eraseable remotely
Find my device even if based on WiFi only (of forgotten to be returned)
Email doc with notes taken (simple client)
Pen tip that does not wear off so quickly
Pen that needs no charging

Good device but no PDF Table of Contents.

It works well for my needs, notes, templates and read PDF. I really like the battery life with possibility of connecting to the DPA mobile APP any time, thats the best feature! I think for now they should add the option for the Table of Contents, I understand the mobile APP its still running the first version and missing options like delete files. Thats my 2 reasons for the 4 stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The OS in this system is a disaster, I couldn't find table of contents and moving pdf into subfolders is miserable.
