I fought it out on eBay and paid $1025. While I think I could have gotten one slightly cheaper, I had already lost another auction.
I can't say a lot about portability and battery life as I've only had the device a few days. I bought the case mentioned in this discussion thread. I paid the extra couple of bucks for the green one and it fits perfectly with the pen attached to the side! Thanks to whoever found that case.
I can't believe how thin the device is and how amazingly light. It is magical.
I was led to the Sony DPT-S1 by an advertisement for the Remarkable, which won't be available until August and is quite a bit smaller. I definitely want a 13" inch screen.
I wish Sony had tried to market the DPT-S1 to a wider audience. For some reason, I totally missed this device. I own a Kindle Oasis so I'm familiar with eInk, and have owned just about all Kindle models including the original DX.
I think the Sony DPT-S1 would be perfect if they built a new model with LED edge lighting like on the Kindle. It's tough to write and see the display when using a little portable reading light.
