The eBook Reader Blog

One of the first in-depth reviews of the new Sony DPT-RP1 was uploaded to YouTube today. The video is in Japanese so I can’t understand a word of it and the translation feature on YouTube is so comically inaccurate that it’s no help, but the video is very long and shows a lot of the […]

For a company that got out of the ebook market, Sony just can’t quite seem to let go of making ereaders with E Ink screens. Sony’s last PDF-specific device, the DPT-S1, was unceremoniously discontinued last fall, and it looked like that might be the end of Sony’s E Ink ereaders, but now some evidence has […]

Last month all signs suggested that Sony’s 13.3-inch PDF Reader was being discontinued. That was quite obvious by the fact that the listing at B&H had a big red “Discontinued” sign on the product page. Since then the price of the Sony DPT-S1 has skyrocketed back into crazy expensive territory like it did before it […]

It looks like Sony’s specialized PDF reader has reached the end of the line. It was listed as out-of-stock for several weeks after it went on sale this summer for $200 off the regular price, and now the product page for the Sony DPT-S1 at B&H carries a big red “DISCONTINUED” sign.

Sony’s specialized 13.3-inch E Ink PDF reader isn’t gone for good after all. It’s back in stock at both Amazon and B&H.com. After they ran a sale on it earlier in the summer it was out of stock for a couple of months. With the heavy discount it seemed like the usual clearing stock sale […]

Funny timing. Just last week I posted an article about how the 13.3-inch Sony DPT-S1 is still a popular choice even with newer less expensive options available. Now this week the Sony DPT-S1 has turned up on sale at Amazon and B&H.com for $699. That’s $100 less that it was selling for last week, and […]

Sony’s specialized DPT-S1 E Ink PDF Reader has been on the market for a couple years now. It was the very first 13.3-inch E Ink ereader to get released, and as it finally starts to get some competition from other companies, the Sony DPT-S1 still remains a popular choice. I thought that once the 13.3-inch […]
