Well, there is some sort of market there for the type of person who just wants to read PDFs and no distractions, but yes - it is frustrating when Sony makes the hardware and then doesn't bother actually writing software to let it undertake basic functions or even documenting how to use the software that's out there.
Looks like my weekend-long experiment with the DPT-S1 is ending. Taking it to work yesterday and it also couldn't secure a WiFi connection with an access point 10m away. DPT-S1 had some sort of WiFi Tourettes where it would disconnect, reconnect, go to standby and keep refreshing its wifi list so quickly that I could never select anything. It will just cost me the price of return shipping to Australia, hopefully.
A nice screen marred by incomplete software, poor WiFi, pitiful documentation and poor support. Reminds me of a thread on a Microsoft forum where some poor soul was trying to connect to his Office cloud via WebDAV. When told to contact Sony about the product, they replied that they couldn't actually get any response.
