The Software MUST IMPROVE!!
on August 17, 2018
Posted by: kurahell
Gender:Male
I recently bought this product (DPT CP1) to read pdfs, the hardware and all the tangible parts are amazing, BUT my main problem is that you DON'T have the most basic options such as reading ONLY ONE document on LANDSCAPE mode, the only option is having two pages on landscape but that makes the letter smaller and you can't take advantage of the full size of the screen. My second issue is that you also don't have a continuous reading option when you ZOOM IN, you have to zoom in and out every page!, and reading a pdf with more than 500 pages like that is a BIG PROBLEM. Believe me that I'm not the only person with that issue and that adding at least those two functions will make a better device, SONY has made an EXCELLENT product for people who read a lot, but the lack of improvements on the software makes an e-reader with wasted potential. You should take the advices in the comments about the improvements of the software and BELIEVE IN YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT YOU WILL CREATE AN EXCELLENT E-READER!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I feel like I only have 50% appreciation for what this product can be. It's a real drawback to not have access to the companion mobile app for this product in Canada. If Sony is able to resolve this issue so Canadians can download and install the companion app in order access the full functionality of this device, I would be happy to provide a much better review and recommend this product to others.

Comment on the Digital Paper line
on August 1, 2018
Posted by: KimSM
Gender:Female
I have an older Digital Paper model, version DPT-S1. It works great and especially the battery life is awesome. It is my go-to device for reading long pdf files. I get migraines from reading too long on my tablets so this is great. However, I a a little confused. It seemed like Sony discontinued this line of product for a while. Am I able to update my tablet’s software through this website? Is the pen sold with this new line of product compatible with my older model? Thank you.

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.

Great for reading Letter /A4 size papers!

I had a 6” size e-reader, which is nice for reading books. However it was impossible to continue reading a letter size pdf document (Orthopedic Books for me).
So i decided to buy this 13” reader about a month ago. It is lightweight, however big to carry around by hand, but it’s not a problem for me since i already use a bag for laptop & other stuff.
Much faster for pdf reading, compared to 6” sized reader. Turning pages & creating pages are much quicker, even though both have e-ink technology.
Pen feels great, but no idea how long the tip will last!
The only problem is there is no Table of Contents part(!), which is terrible for a thousand pages book! Thus, i split my books by chapters & keep them in folders named by books.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DPT-RP1 has the best hardware, the worst software
on April 16, 2018
Posted by: Mic Kwan

I wait for the DPT-RP1 for 1 year and I finally buy it.Finally, it may be a wrong decision.For such a gadget with only weight under 350g,Sony had done a good job, but that 's all! I use Windows 7, and I cannot transfer document to Digital Paper, the device only support PDF, that mean I cannot see other document format, even cannot browser the website on the digital paper, all I can read is PDF,PDF,PDF,PDF..... .What's worse, there is no fixed cropping function on DRT-RP1, I have to circle the readable area each page, it makes me crazy for using this stuff. Why don't Sony hire someone good at software or user experience to develop the system??

Elegant gadget with a lot of room to perfection...
on April 9, 2018
Posted by: Sonycrazy
Regardless of its imperfections, i am totally enjoying it. I do really hope Sony will listen to its customers and take action asap. This thing takes reading to the next level, and i can't thank Sony enough for making it. But i am sure a lot of people will buy it regardless of it's price, if the navigation functions are made available, which is one of the many reasons, apart from the price, discouraging people to buy it. Previous view, Next view, jumping to a page are all the functions completely missing from this beautiful creation of Sony. And one thing i thought about while reading and working in the split screen is, instead of splitting it only in the landscape mode, which by the way the text becomes so small and you lose the enjoyment of it, portrait would have been great - the text size would be the same as the original- but of course for this to work, we also need to scroll- which is missing right now too. With all the problems i have mentioned above, and its hefty price, i do give it a four star, and i can't wait to give it a five star when all the missing functions are added.
Thank you Sony!!
Thank you Sony!!

The best paper notepad replacement!

I first have to admit i've been working with digital paper since the early versions so i am a fan. I am a avid note taker, i seem to recall more if i write down. i have not been able to use my computer or ipad for this in a way that feels natural. Sony Digital Paper with its legal pad size is perfect and the pen/pencil to paper experience is seamlessly transferred to a digital medium. the advantage for me was a very simular notetaking experience with digital sync to my computer. no more drawers full of paper notepads. While I mostly use for notes, a secondary advantage is 'printing' any paper documents directly to the SDP to eliminate carrying around paper, and having the ability to markup/highlight while reviewing in full page form like a paper print out.
