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.

Are Stylus Tips the Achilles Heel of the Sony DPT-RP1 and Remarkable?
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 […]
Sony DPT-RP1 vs reMarkable Comparison Review (Video)
The Sony DPT-RP1 and the reMarkable paper tablet are two new E Ink ereaders with a similar set of features.

Sony DPT-RP1 Digital Paper Notes and Handwriting Review (Video)
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 […]
Is the Sony DPT-RP1 the Future of eReaders?
I’ve had the Sony DPT-RP1 for six weeks now and I’m still amazed every time I pick it up by how thin and light it is—the device has such a unique feel to it—and the large 13.3-inch E Ink screen has an addicting quality that makes you want to use it all the time. The […]
