You can also market the iPad as having weeks of battery life with such footnotes.
I've been using the S1 for six months. The battery life on it is far better than on any tablet with a regular screen. Everybody knows that eInk displays don't need any current to hold their image, they're bistable, that's a huge advantage over LCD screens. This has nothing to do with Sony, it's an inherent capability of the screen technology.

Show me somebody who has gotten weeks of battery life out of their iPad by turning off the networking and leaving the screen on all day, every day. I tried to take notes on my Surface Pro 4 and the thing barely made it through a day. And, oh, I want to see what is on the screen, that's the whole point of having a device that functions like a notepad.
