This.
I'm a law student and my hobby is deciphering old soviet military documents. For those things this device is a life saver.
1) It will allow me to drop kg's of law bundles during my 55km bike trip on a daily basis
2) I can finally get rid of ridiculous stacks of old notes, where I need to reserve an entire evening for just to find something in it.
3) I can take notes on print-outs and specific laws without actually printing out documents or ruining a perfectly fine bundle.
4) It will save me €30 a month on paper and printing costs alone
5) It will allow me to continue working when my eye-strain sets in
6) I can even continue working when I don't have a desk at my disposal.
7) I don't have to process my notes every night, since I can just make folders and subfolders on the device.
8) The note-taking on one side and pdf on the other side has been my wet dream for years. I cannot express in words how much I wanted such an option.
Sitting with a desktop PC for working, a laptop on the side for the document I need to see and a dictionary or law bundle shoveled somewhere on the desk and a filing folder for my
hand notes is just about the most unworkable situation you can come across.
With this device I can finally have a normal work space without books falling on the ground or my patience wearing thin.
Yes, it isn't a cheap device ($1100 including taxes and import charges) and the lack of a European launch (thus EU warranty) makes the Onyx Max Carta an attractive option as well. But my time saved with the DPT-RP1 on a daily basis as well as getting rid of my frustrations make it a tough decision.
I'm still some money short for it and I don't need it for september, so at least I have some time to make my decision.
