The spirit of the Kno lives!? SFinally a device on par with A4. However as most everyone here should recall past attempts serving up a device for academics perhaps the biggest reason for failure has been poor research/study management software. That is still where success or failure lurks.
Problem is the software needs to not only paradigm shift from paper but also serve every learning style/type out there. Closest software to that end, that I've used anyway, has been MS OneNote. Even then it has a ton of holes with a long way to go. Evernote also held promise but never made the commitment to serve academics either.
I've actually been hopeful Pocketbook would make it happen with their focusing schools but that hasn't gone well either.
With Sony's "our way or the highway" corporate philosophy my confidence from me is low that this specific device will break the barrier. It just seems counter to what Sony has done historically. Hopefully I'm not reading the tea leaves right this time.
