Hi Yokowa, they say there on page 6 of Basic_Operation_Guide.pdf

About red/navy lines
Lines will not appear red or navy immediately after
being drawn. Red lines will turn light gray after being
saved by page turning, etc. Navy and red lines will be
displayed on files transferred to a computer.

and on page 4 of user_guide

By connecting the Digital Paper device to your
computer with a USB cable, you can transfer files
easily. Handwritten sticky note on the Digital Paper
device will be transferred to the computer as an
attached PDF file.


Since you've informed us before that you couldn't find the way to flatten the pdf, what does it exactly mean?

Could you maybe annotate this 2-page pdf (from k2pdfopt page) using all the tools from toolbox and transfer all files that are transferable here for us to see?

Maybe there is a way to join those files together with original pdf using PC or someone will eventually write some plugin similar to that one for exporting(flattening) handwriting in Sony PRS T series through calibre.

Can you just type in

cat /proc/cpuinfo

to get more information?

Okay, I've selectively read through this thread looking for input on this new tablet because I rant across a link for it while looking for something else.

Sony Reveals $1,100 Digital Paper Slate

I find it very interesting.

The portable Digital Paper replaces spiral notebooks, legal pads, and file folders with a high-contrast, reflective 13.3-inch e-paper display. It's housed in a 12.6-ounce body, which Sony said is the world's thinnest and lightest among 9-plus-inch mobile devices.

Digital Paper includes built-in Wi-Fi and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to three weeks' use on a single charge. Additionally, users can convert Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files into PDF format, then transfer them wirelessly or via USB connectivity to the device to view, annotate, and share.

And with enough storage space for about 2,800 PDF files (approximately 1MB each), plus an internal memory of 4GB and a micro SD card slot, you will be able to easily backlog notes and files.

Readius was never retailed so the Wexler Flex is the first retailed device

one can not export an annotated pdf file as a flattened pdf file on the device, i.e. flattening can not be done on the device, but annotations are saved to PDF files. Annotations can also be saved to Workspace. As to my knowledge, flattening pdf files is different from exporting.

More about CPU:

i.MX50 Revision 1.1
799.53 BogoMIPS

So it should be 800Mhz.

I'm wondering. How did you get a Linux shell? Jailbreak? Official shell? What can you do? Do you have root access?

$1,100 for an e-ink device? Yikes

It looks like a nice PDF reader, the ability to write on it is nice but for that price I want a whole heck of a lot more.

I would stick to my tablet for reading PDFs

The annotated pdf HERE Attachment 121136

Great !!! Thnx !!!

All I was really interested in was, is it possible to transfer annotated pdf to PC computer or iPad and read it and further annotate it there using some pdf reader ? and it is !!! so no need for flattening it for me on the DPT-S1 beforehand

_Pdf annotated in DPT-S1 opened on PC in Foxit reader; although DPT-S1 is b/w device it uses blue and red coded ink that can be seen as such on a color screen.

Can it fill in and save PDF files with check boxes and text entry fields?

I would say it just the other way round: I wouldn't need one single function more, for me it is has all I am wishing for. But for what I am wishing for I was hoping for a price of around 500/600 and not around 1.000.

I subscribe your words.

I also would like to know, Yokowa, does it has integrated dictionaries?

[endless_reading]

Thanks for the information.

For $1000, there should be a better CPU.

This question has been answered earlier in the thread.

If by "better" you mean "faster", in a portable device it's always a compromise between CPU speed and power consumption. A faster CPU means higher power consumption and a shorter battery life, or a larger battery and a heavier device.
