The Sony DPT-RP1 and Remarkable both have similar styluses with tips that wear out after a few weeks or so, depending on how much you use them. This supposedly makes the writing experience feel more paper-like on both devices, but it’s also a serious problem when there are no more stylus tips to buy, and […]

The Sony DPT-RP1 and the reMarkable paper tablet are two new E Ink ereaders with a similar set of features.

Some people are frustrated by how basic and locked down the software is on the new 13.3-inch Sony DPT-RP1. It can’t connect to the internet to download files or browse the web, it doesn’t support ebook formats or display mirroring, you can only transfer files using an app on a Mac or Windows computer, among […]
