One other thing;
Has anyone found a good small reading light for the Sony DPT that clips on the reader? Thanks again, Phil |

Are you having problem with charging the device, or the device holding the charge? Although USB stands for universal serial bus and there are standards and specifications, not all USB gear adheres to them. Did you use the cable that came with the device, did you try other cables, and where did you draw the current from? Why don't you just mount the device as mass storage and copy the files? (Windows does this by default when you connect it to a computer with the USB cable) |

Yesterday I finally received the original Sony book style hardcover for my DPT-S1:
http://www.sony.jp/digital-paper/pro...SC-DPTS1P02BK/ MSC-DPTS1P02BK First impression: It stinks like hell! Chemical flavor at its best. It's definitely fake leather. The cover can be used for left and right handed users which is a big plus. Pen holders are on both sides and you have to install small adhesive/glued foam feets. I've just installed two of them, maybe all four are better protection while closing the cover. The cover does not stay closed on its own. It feels very stable like you can't bend it and it should keep harm from the display away. The dimensions are very scarce compared to the device dimensions. Left and right side has enough space but the top and bottom side of the device have to be aligned 100% correct to not let one side of the device leak out of the cover. It is fitted with some kind of adhesive foil which allows to remove your device not very easily. I didn't try to shake the device of the cover heavily but when I just hold the cover open and the DPT-S1 is hanging around, the adhesive keeps him inside the cover. I don't know how secure it is and I do NOT want to test this out. ;-) The fake leather is black and has a little glare to it. It gives definitely more protection than the original Sony cover that comes with the unit. So I will continue to use the new cover. It's not the best cover on earth but it does the job. I only strongly hope that this chemical fragrance will be gone very fast as I love my life and HATE those China crap chemicals. ![]() All in all I would buy it again but it's a little bit to expensive for the choosen material. |

I wish there was a way to insert cross-references (goto page ...) in a document like one can insert notes. Has anyone figured out a contact at Sony who could be harassed into accepting wishes?

The charging problem for me was the device itself. I swapped AC plugs and multiple cables without any conditional change. I've been careful with the devices MicroUSB charging port since it's been out of the box because I know these are fragile. Just a bum unit which Sony has honored the warranty with.
I'd like to post a pic of my case but I'm on my phone so not sure if I can. It a double sided thin metal diamond plate case I made myself. It could handle Afghanistan ![]() Cheers, Phil |

Does anyone else have the problem that when the device is put to "Sleep mode" from within the Viewer and then woken up again, the "fast scrolling" is broken to the effect that what you see in the "fast scroll" is offset from the place where it stops? I've had this behaviour since the beginning and was hoping Sony would fix it but it's still there even with the latest updates for me.

I'm thinking of finally buying one of these and before I do - a question:
I would like to read books on the Sony in two columns in landscape mode. With calibre, can I convert my epubs to two column landscape pdfs. As another option, can the Sony display two pages side by side in landscape mode for reading purposes (where one swipe turns to the next two). Thanks. |
