Hello all,
I have had the Sony a few months now and wanted to give a (former post) correction and some impressions.
1. WebDev syncs only from the Sony-DPT to Box, one way. It does NOT sync from Box.com (Webdev) to the Sony-DPT. (I was mistaken in an earlier post.)
2. My largest annoyance is the Zoom function. It takes me multiple attempts to zoom, most of the time-sometimes not??, and the zoom is not like a tablet, not as smooth.
3. Unable to Highlight once zoomed in, only the 'Pen-line' marking is an option. I would like to be able to zoom and highlight.
4. Not having a dimable backlight sucks. It means you always need an alternative light source, something, the sun, and headlamp, bed light, flashlight, etc. A backlight would change this device drastically.
5. The note-taking is awesome. I just finished two months of Coast Guard classes and did not even use paper. The writing pad was returned to the instructor and the end of each class (3) unused. No lag when writing, text and drawn pictures are perfect. I was even able to get digital copies of each textbook and load these onto the DPT after the first class day. This means all my classes were done solely on the DPT, switching between highlighting and note-taking in the textbook and switching between the notepad, depending on what I was doing. Amazing!!!
Other then some small annoyances, the device is good and the best tech purchase I have made since a laptop and smartphone. There is room for improvement but this is a large leap in productivity for me. I use this device daily and I have thousands of PDF's (engineer). I am reading everyday now and before I had this Sony I was reading short pieces and monthly periodicals. Now I am devouring books and adding my notes to every page, all carried over to Acrobat on a PC.
Recommended, unless you know V2 is coming out. Then I'd wait.
Cheers,
Phil
