I don't catch the issue with the keeping of a second clean copy either? You may just keep it aside in the internal memory or the SD card of your reader, this does not matter. How does it slow down your workflow in any way?

Well, I live in Switzerland and am a lawyer. I am currently studying a lot (preparation to bar exams) and this device is fantastic! I have received it yesterday (it arrived in less than 48 hours from the US, see), and it will sure become a vital instrument to me. I love its sleek design, its light weight, the high page turn speed, the quality of the display, the smoothness of the writing (I do write fast but the lag is negligible) and also the fact that it is made in Japan.

I own a Nook Glowlight Plus with 300ppi screen resolution, so the pixelisation on the Sony is noticeable from a close distance, but it really doesn't bother me at all. It is so much more convenient to read on such a A4 tablet than any other device, incl. iPad Pro or other similar black-lit screen.

The only cons so far:

1) I failed to sync with box.com, even if I scrupulously followed the instructions given in a previous post, and this is a bit annoying;
2) The lanscape mode is... dumb;
3) The back is already full of fingerprints;
4) The surface is not 100% flat, just like it was initially rolled and then flatened when they installed the screen in the device - but this does not interfere with the writing (I love the feeling, altough I am a Wacom Cintiq 13HD user since years - there is no layer between the tip of the pen and the eink surface, so there is no pen "lag").

In short, it is the best and most useful purchase I have made this year, my eyes will say thank you to Sony (and my printer, too!).
