You can change the thickness of your writing in the side menu of the Sony DPT-S1 and you can choose the colour of your writing: Red and Blue. I hope Sony will add a simple black in the next update.

I didn't want an experimental thingy with 1000 options I wanted a reliable(!), simple to use tool for PDFs and with the Sony DPT-S1 I've found it after many years of experimenting. It is a tool that I can use daily at the university without problems.

As said before, you can use tabs. You can even safe complete workplaces which means that all required notes and documents for one job don't need to be opened seperately every time you need it.

The Wifi-Sync feature is indeed something of a hit and miss and I don't know if it depends of having a free or paid box-account!?


And sorry, but everybody who thinks those 9,7" devices are good for A4 PDFs only seems to like living with a compromise. I tested so many big e-book-readers... the 13,3" is the only way to go.
As you can zoom into the documents, there's no need for reflow etc.


The build-quality of previous Onyx devices (not only the M92) is only middle class or lower. Using the pen of the Onyx I thought they used technology from kids toys. Horrible!

Have a look at the Onyx Max and then tell me again, that this is NOT a copy of the DPT-S1?

If the MAX is super fast for webbrowsing I could imagine to use it as an internet tablet, but nothing more. But for a chinese copy it's just too expensive. :-)
They could sell the Max for 300,-$ and still make profit.

The biggest problem is that many chinese companies just steel the know-how and technology and the dumb people that support those companies will make (not only) themselves obsolete in the future.
