One more Q: Does anyone know if DPT-S1 has a built-in dictionary like Kindle does? Can you, say, tap a word and get its definition or something like that?
It doesn't, perhaps in a future update.

I hope they do that, it's one of the features I like in my prs-t1.
Have you bought one while in Japan, Kumabjorn?

You kind of have to be in Tokyo or maybe Osaka to get your hands on a physical model, I'm in the boondocks when I'm in Japan. I was thinking of buying one through Rakuten but they are sold by their market place and all sales are final, so no returns. Unless I can root it and attach a keyboard I'm not interested. To me it is an outdoor production device, rather than a consumption device.

Yes, I read before that you want a connection to physical keyboard... Maybe other company will make it possible or even a firmware update

It seems to be running some flavor of Android under the hood so it should be reasonably possibly, but I have no idea if Sony put in a bootlocker or not. So Before I even Think of buying one I want to read about someone rooting it and installing a full fledged version of Android.

I contacted Sony with the help of a friend who knows Japanese and they said the device's interface is Japanese only

By the way, this is not the only large 13.3" device. See PocketBook CAD Reader in our wiki.

It's the only one that's actually available to buy, Dale. Please correct me I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Pocketbook device has been released yet.

It's as well to treat all release dates with a pinch of salt. They tend to be aspirations rather than commitments.
