Yesterday I posted about the Onyx Boox Max Carta being marked down to the lowest price ever for a 13.3-inch E Ink ereader, and it turns out some other large-screen E Ink devices are on sale as well. The 10.3-inch Remarkable paper tablet is currently marked down to $499 for a limited time from the […]

It’s hard to believe that Sony’s latest 13.3-inch E Ink PDF reader, the Sony DPT-RP1, has been out for over 9 months now. What’s even harder to believe is the fact that Sony still hasn’t issued a single software update to address the lack of common software features on their second-generation digital paper device. Soon […]

I recently decided to get a 9.7-inch Onyx Boox N96ML to see how it compares with the 13.3-inch Sony DPT-RP1 and 10.3-inch Remarkable. Each device has its own particular strengths and weaknesses, but they share a number of similar features. All three have large E Ink displays, all support PDF format, and each comes with […]

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.

The Sony Digital Paper device supports PDF format only, and since you can often find sheet music in PDF format it […]

In a battle between two 13.3-inch ereaders with E Ink Carta displays, the Onyx Boox Max Carta and Sony DPT-RP1 are currently selling for the same price (except the Max can be had for even less). The Max Carta has been going for $750 lately (and it still is on Amazon) but Banggood has it […]

Last month I post a Sony DPT-RP1 review, but I wanted to do a follow-up review to give a closer look at the note-taking and handwriting features. The Sony DPT-RP1 is meant to be a paper replacement device, hence the name Digital Paper (which no one seems to call it). It’s designed mainly for reading […]
