Sony Digital Paper

I knew sync-option with Laptop, but honestly, this shouldn't be the merely option. The hardware is cutting edge. These days, our gadgets connect to each other and to the cloud effortless and without user intervention, everywhere and all the time. Various application preferences including those for the web browser are also available, as shown in the gallery above. I could then edit at will with the stylus, on a full-sized copy slightly larger than full-size actually , with no worries about losing pages.

Software and UI Aspects

sony digital paper review

This allows maximum use of available screen estate for the document. By the way, the idea of connecting keayboard to the e-reader is brilliant. The same button can also be used to highlight specific words. E-Ink - A Brief Background We will not go into the of E-Ink here, but it suffices for readers to know that E-Ink avoids the use of backlighting. It has a flush screen with a paper-like texture to it. During this process the rendering engine kicks in, limiting the amount of e-ink refreshing that occurs.

Sony's 13

sony digital paper review

They have come up with this unique device for businesses, government agencies and students to go paperless and live a stress-free life. It was under charged the first time that I used it. Unsurprisingly, this tablet can be what you always admired of. Yet: - it started to have a incredible slow response after 8 months of use and no, its drive is not full, less than 10% occupied - there's been only 1 firmware update, without any consideration from Sony to our calls for obvious features lacking such as index reading - the most serious flaw: out of the blue, a whole horizontal strip of the screen stopped responding to the pen or, when it does, it distorts a straight line, take a look at the attached picture. I bought it to try to avoid paper at work. There is only a rudimentary browser. A larger screen also meant we could fill up the page with what felt like a lot more notes, before having to move on to the next one.

It is usable, but there is considerable room for improvement. Alternatively, you could have two different e-books open at once, and independently make edits on both of them at the same time. Sony reps have stated that they plan to add more features via a software update, but that remains to be seen. Thin and lightweight, with a sleek design has an extremely sophisticated look and a nice, smooth feel to it. Dedicated email address to drop docs for on the go blabla mysonydpt.

Sony's new superthin E Ink tablet costs just $700

One minor issue we had, was how easily accessible the eraser was to our grip. First of all, the Sony Digital Paper has about the size of a normal paper letter format. The touch display supports input from fingers including gestures and the included Wacom stylus. No other e-reader comes close. Allow me to sort documents by date. Very lightweight and comfortable to hold. For this price, that's just unacceptable: don't waste your money on this one.

Also the device can actually edit Word documents directly which makes it more of a productivity tool. This could be a software update in future. What is your experience and what are your use cases? Still, it could be a really nice paper replacement device once the software is more refined. Note the lines like a legal pad and lack of screen glare despite the camera flash. The highlighting experience is especially interesting, because not only can you highlight a specific word or body of text, but also you can make highlights over highlights. Pros The resolution is great. By firmly pressing down, and hearing a small click, you know you interacted with a specific function.

Sony revamps its Digital Paper tablet with new screen and interface

sony digital paper review

This function is really needed when the student read a huge course book. It cannot surf internet or check emails. For those in need of a larger print this is a bear to deal with. Instead, it relies on reflection from ambient light for visibility. Connectivity to other devices and the cloud is an anachronism. Because of this single fact, the usage of the device is very limited for me. It is running the exact same operating system and firmware, so there are no cool little features that make it distinctive.

However, although I correctly installed tips of the stylus, sometimes it is not responding. This is very innovative because you can for example highlight a paragraph, then a specific sentence in the paragraph and then finally a specific word. On the other hand, it has been already hacked supposedly by internal leak by Chinese hackers and only honest customers cannot use the product with full power. It seems like it would make the device 5 times better if you could select the handwriting and move it. By the way the tips leave black residues on the screen and wear surprisingly fast.

Sony 16GB DPT

If you are making notes from scratch using the default app there are six different backgrounds that are available. As I wrote in my original review, Worldox offers synchronization through its own cloud-storage system, called Worldox FileCloud. Screenwriting and Collaboration As a digital e-reader and writer, one of the first ways that a Sony Digital Paper can affect the filmmaking industry is with screenplays and project planning. Traditionally, I would write on my laptop and print out a hard copy whenever I wanted to really read it and make edits — using a pen. I found a use case where the Digital Paper excelled as well, saving me tons of paper, printer ink and the annoyance of having to lug around stacks of printed material. However, if you are easily distracted when reading on a computer or cellphone, cannot hold the heaviness of carrying a book, dpt-rp1 surely is the lightest digital paper for reading and marking academic works with no additional function to distract.

Paperless Video Production: Review of the Sony Digital Paper

The stylus has its own built-in battery, along with two buttons, one you press for highlighting and one for erasing. 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. Previous view, Next view, jumping to a page are all the functions completely missing from this beautiful creation of Sony. In comparison to other tablets on the market, we were impressed by the 13. I am a avid note taker, i seem to recall more if i write down. Please cancel the page display and redirection function on the top of the page, shown when touched once.
