RP1 is so amazing!
I've used too many tools that promise great productivity gains, but rp1 is totally powerful and highly productive tool!
However, there're two functions have to be updated!

However, there're two functions have to be updated!
1. STICKY NOTE
RP1 doesn't have sticky note function like s1, when I use s1, this function is really useful, Ican make note and answer the question by putting a sticky note beside the text. Although rp1 can display note of a document, sticky note is still needed!

2. TABLE OF CONTENT
Just like s1, this function had been canceled, but why?
This function is really needed when the student read a huge course book.
I really hope you will update these two functions ASAP.

Nice screen and hardware, but it would be nice to be able to use it in more flexible ways. How about allowing for connecting bluetooth keyboards, make it accessible through usb storage and webdav and adding text to speech functionality?

Good but software needs work

I bought this a few days ago. Great product overall. Am used to using the DPT-S1 for the past three years...things that seemed easier on the DPT-S1 seem to be harder on this. I wish they would bring back some of the DPT-S1 features like: 1) I liked having a list op open documents in tabs at the top (some may not). Each tab had a little x beside it so that when you were done with the document you could close it...it seems that with this version there is no way to close a document (or if there is one, then I haven't found it and if someone knows how please let me know). 2) copying things from a technical PDF to the notes page - I liked being able to copy a figure from the PDF to my notes so that way I could keep all the important figures together 3) Need to have a way to navigate pages. 4) thumbnail views were great - alas, they are lost in this version 5) scrolling in a page or zooming and then scrolling around the page are very useful features that were also lost 6) PLEASE bring back the ability to use the drive as a USB storage - avoids me having to install the software (which I can't anyway) on work computer. It really cripples the device - without being able to transfer work files to it directly.
All in all, I really like the RP1 - but software needs some work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Software MUST IMPROVE!!
on August 17, 2018

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.

Amazing product, few tweaks possible

Gender:Female
This just arrived in the mail after pre-ordering the product. So far, I'm beyond impressed! I've tried numerous e-readers and tablets and for me, a person who really just wants to read and annotate PDFs, this has impressively been the best product.
Small tweaks I would suggest:
1. An ability to add notes in the form of 'stickies', which existed in the previous version
2. A more convenient method of zooming into areas of the PDF (perhaps by pinching and sprawling the fingers, as with other products like the iPAD)
3. A signature feature, where pressing a button inserts a saved signature
4. An option to take what we wrote and minimize or increase the size of it
5. A way to enter the page number of the PDF you want to go to, for large documents

Small questions:
1. In the future, will additional tips for the stylus be available at B&H? I sure don't want to loose the ability to use the product because of the pen! Also, how long should the tips last?

Feature suggestion
on August 15, 2017
Posted by: Cc1990
Gender:Male
The product is a very high quality device. However, I want to make some suggestion for possible update / patch
1. Files are now arranged in folders in ascending order by name, I would like to have more control with sorting, including sort by creation date or modified date
2. Ability to sync with cloud drive
3. The files copied / synced with computer are in fact created as fresh on DPT. it is in fact more helpful to copy even such file attributes into dpt so that the file management / sorting correspond better with the files in computer.

Can do better
on December 13, 2018
Posted by: Sunnysun
I tried both reMarkable and Sony DPT and chose SOny over ReMarkable because of the its versatility. HAving said this,there is a lot Sony can do to improve it. The zoom feature allows zoom only on the circled portion or page and does not carry over to the next page. For those in need of a larger print this is a bear to deal with.
I am happy with the hardware but software is way below to the SOny standards we are used to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I got a couple of months ago and I'm very pleased with the hardware the main drawback is that it doesn't have an app for Android or iOS I need to take out my computer to sync the notes before I can send anything to anybody I will really love to be able just to carry my digital paper and my cell phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!
