Fantastic hardware, poor software

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

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.

Good but the battery life of stylus is very short

I have a DPT-CP1 but the battery life of stylus is very short about 2~3 days even if I can't use it. Is it necessary for this stylus to power off ?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Definitely grew on me, and I love it now.

It's a great product that can become even better if Sony really takes some of the feedback on the unit and applies it to future updates. When I first received my Digital Paper, I spent about a week wondering if I had just spent all that $$$ because I was overly excited. After a few months now I can honestly say this thing is awesome, BUT it definitely needs a little more refining. For example, not all of the line thicknesses seem to react with the same speed and degree of accuracy as others. It's little things like this that seem like they could be addressed in firmware updates, but its hard to know how to send feedback to Sony. The stylus/pen could also use a little work on the calibration and orientation settings. For a leftie, its ok, but there are a few positions in between those you offer that would be beneficial. You have to calibrate in portrait mode, so if you turn the Digital Paper to landscape orientation, the calibration of the pen seems slightly off.
The stylus is good. I prefer the powered pen over a passive one. It took me a while to get used to writing with it. The tip depresses into the pen body when you start writing, and because of this, you need to hold up the start of your pen strokes just a little to get the tip depressed and then start moving, or else you will lose the first portion of your stroke. I write in all caps like a draftsman making blueprints, so I probably have the worst handwriting style for this device. Once i adjusted and slowed slightly, I can say the second to thickest line weight is great for me. I would be super super happy if Sony read this and adjusted the middle line weight a little to speed it up and smooth it out a little like the next one up. I'd give you another half star. Make the thing perfectly calibrates in both landscape and portrait, even if you have to run a second calibration in landscape mode, and I will give you that other half star to bring you up to a perfect 5 star product.
I put this thing through some torture when I first got it. Loaded a PDF that was over 500 MB, something like 800 pages, and had no OCR run on it. Slight lag when flipping pages in side note mode (that's when you have your book on one side and a blank note page on the other). But nothing too annoying, and its totally an extreme case, and I was impressed.
But overall, the reviews are mostly accurate, this is one of those devices that you kind of fall in love with its simplicity. And you realize how much the backlights on the monitors and screens we stare at hurt our eyes. Since getting this, I have much less eye strain and I don't have blurred vision when I get home from staring at the computer all day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

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
