As for the "feel" of the pen on plastic: If the tip is removable like in Wacom-like digitizers, you can replace it with another material. My Wacom Digitzer came with various tips, all of which have a very different feeling (like a rubber one, a plastic one, an elastic one, etc.) |
I also considered waiting. The problem is you lose out on the time you could be using the Sony device by waiting. Also consider that it may not come out at all. The Sony is a great device. It does one thing and does it well. Read FULLSIZED PDFs and "annotate" those PDFs. If that is all you want to do, then it's a no-brainer in my opinion.
The pen tip feels good. Sure it is replaceable with wacom tips but I havent had the desire to change it yet. I prefer the plastic feel over glass.

I too considered what would happen when it gets discontinued because it inevitably will regardless of whether or not sony sells all their divisions. My final thought is, it is designed to read PDFs... even after it gets discontinued, it will STILL read PDFs. As far as a niche product is concerned, it will continue to serve its purpose. If your reason for getting one is the reason it is built, you might as well get one before it gets axed and then becomes unavailable.
