I like love the amount of white space for annotating academic papers and ebooks on the sony – but for novels I prefer two pages on one and reading in landscape-mode – it really fells like reading a book, perfect for me.
I also wanted to share my solution to get a pdf-"newspaper" from my pocket collection (or any other rss-feed) to the sony. I like reading on it too much and don't like the browser, so I wanted to figure out a way... fivefilters.org provides a php-script that you can run on their server or on your own. It converts up to ten feed items into a two-collum pdf-newspaper with a great font, including re-sized pictures. Using IFTTT, I use this to get my pocket collection converted into pdf and directly uploaded to my box-account, which then syncs to the sony – all without touching my laptop. it's a pretty neat read with my coffee in the morning. If anyone is interested in details of the setup, I am happy to share. |

dpsprep: Text and bookmark preserving DJVU to PDF
I wrote a Python script, gluing together a bunch of open source tools, which converts DJVU files with OCR'd text and bookmarks like Tables of Contents, into PDFs with these same features. Everything else I could find just seemed to dump to flat PDFs, sometimes with enormous filesizes. If you've got a shell and the requisite tools installed, maybe you'll find it useful. Its great for textbooks!
https://github.com/kcroker/dpsprep Let me know if it converts more detailed bookmarks within the document too (it should...) Word. -k |

Can it be set to tap to turn the page or only swiping? Also, I asked before, but if anyone has both a kindle ebook reader and the dpt-s1, how does the page turn speed compare for text only books (assume the kindle book is mobi/azw). Thanks.

You can click page turn button but otherwise must swipe.
Page refresh is quicker than kindle. |

It's a soft button (an arrow in a corner of the screen)

Buying of the DPT-S1 in Japan
Hello,
I will go to Japan in September and want to buy the DPT-S1 there as it seems to be impossible to get access to this device in Belgium. I have however some questions : 1. Is it possible to buy the DPT-S1 in retail in Tokyo? 2. Can you buy the DPT-S1 in Japan with the English menu's and if not is it possible to modify the menu's to English on on a Japanese DPT-S1. 3. Can someone recommend a shop in Tokyo for the DPT-S1 (if (1) is possible of course. Thanks a lot in advance Marc Mertens |

To my knowledge, you can't buy the us model in japan. Try to buy it through pro.sony.com in the us.

I'm not going to touch that... Anyway, a Mupdf/Ghostscript dev helped me and looked at the file. He told me that these are realized by FileAttachments in the PDF. So if the reader supports that, I guess it works.
