For basic file transfer you should be able to get by with basic USB drivers.
I've noticed that USB3 ports can be a bit wonky (and USB3 drivers are not included by default on Win 7) when connecting a computer to many e-readers/phones/etc. So first see if a USB2 port will work. Then again, I've only tested my DPT-S1 on Win 8 and Win 10 so not sure if there is some Windows 7 specific issue. |

But all others with 13 inch displays are heavier, don't have SD slots, and most are both. I'm not aware of a 13 inch display better than the DPT-S1. |

On the other hand, the last time I checked, the software on the S1 is still better than the RP1, but this may've been fixed with a firmware update since the initial release. I'm pretty sure that the RP1 still doesn't support webDAV or mounting via USB. Depends what you need I guess, but at the end of the day the DPT-S1 is still a great device. |

I've had the Sony DPTS1 for a few years now. Is it time to upgrade? The Likebook Mimas has caught my eye but it looks alot heavier. I like the backlight and 128GB SD capacity.
If I sold my DPTS1, what could I realistically get for a well kept one? What'dya think? Phil |

Hi folks, did any of you disassemble your unit? Currently my device cannot boot. Orange indicator (next to the power button) blinks but nothing happens after ‘Welcome, Sony’ page.
Maybe you are familiar with a procedure for hard reset (harder than pressing Reset and Power button at the same time) or maybe it’s possible to put firmware on sdcard and boot from it? Any tips appreciated before I open the case in destructive way Cheers. Last edited by kmicu; 03-28-2019 at 06:10 PM. Reason: Spelling. |

Hi all,
I am very new to the forum and to be honest don't understand most of the things people talk about! I am not tech-savvy I am afraid. So, apologies if I sound dumb. I have a DPT-S1, and when I first got it somehow managed to connect to it to WebDav system (box.com) and had no problems. Haven't used the device for a while, and recently realized there are sync problems. Just read that box.com started to deprecate WebDav. I also read that Sony launched its own app, but if I am not mistaken it is only for the other two versions, and not for S1. So my questions are: 1) Is it possible to use Sony's app on S1? 2) What other free file hosting service you can recommend to use for WebDav puposes? Thanks. |

I've never used Sony's app, but my understanding is that it is for transfer only, not syncing to a database. Even if it could work, I don't think it does what you're looking for. I think if you're not comfortable with technology getting WebDAV syncing would be a pretty crazy task. I'd love to get it working with mine, but I feel I'm going to need to do some serious research to get it up and running, and just can't justify that kind of investment right now. Hopefully I'm wrong and someone can find you (us?) an easy fix. |

I'd be happy to buy one soon; here in Italy one offering is around 399 Euro for a very good used DPT-RP1 which is around 350 Dollar, so i might aswell get the DPT-RP1 instead; But from what i understood, the DPT-S1 is still the preferred choice (due to pinch&zoom and overall software + sd-card port). |

RP1 had a software update
I've never worked with the S1, I have the RP1 (hacked) so I can't really cmpare. The latest software update to the RP1 included pinch-zoom, and PDF table of contents. It also included a very nice "go back" feature allowing you to go back to prev pages. And the pen input is even smoother.

Thanks, ghostwheel, this is interesting.
399 Euro is of course around 450 Dollar, not 350, my bad. I am still hoping to get a DPT-S1 one day, but maybe there will come in the meantime also a Reader for the European Market? Really don't see why they are not being sold here through "official" channels. |
