Without display of bookmarks, Hard to navigate

There is no display of bookmarks which makes it hard to navigate through the whole book. I can not jump from where I am reading to any place in the book with the assistance of bookmarks.
Great products with many new innovation. But, for the users in non-English speaking countries, if the digital paper can insert the translation function and adjustable word size, it will be best.
The hardware is cutting edge. Clearly, this e-reader is the best in its class. There is no better way to read 8.5" x 11" black and white pdf documents. No other e-reader comes close.
The software is mediocre. It is usable, but there is considerable room for improvement. Please consider open sourcing the APIs and fostering a community of developers that improves the existing functionality and adds new features not sanctioned by your marketing department.
Connectivity to other devices and the cloud is an anachronism. These days, our gadgets connect to each other and to the cloud effortless and without user intervention, everywhere and all the time. Not this e-reader - it can connect and interact only with Windows and Mac computers that have the Sony App installed. Linux, Android, ChromeOS, and iOS are out of luck. There is no connectivity to Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. either. Therefore, when traveling, one has to carry a notebook computer with the app installed. Otherwise, it is impossible to upload pdf documents.
Sony, please bring this e-reader into the 21st century. Let it connect!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi DieMaus, We appreciate your time and feedback. Sony takes into consideration all feedback to improve the performance and quality of our products and services. We're always looking to make Sony better. We will forward this to the proper department. Regards, Vincent
I bought it about five months ago. It is very slim, light, easy to read. The application whereby files are transferred from PC to the Sony paperless is useful and easy to use. The only negative feature is the lack of table of contents, as already remarked by other users.
It is overall well designed. I enjoy reading pdf using it. I hope some more functions can be added in the future. For example, I hope I can return to my original page after jumping with a simple return button. I also hope a basic browser can be added so that I can visit Wikipedia from time to time.
