First impressions after playing with it for one day (Fri Jul 15 2016):
- writing is GREAT!!! The response is quite fast, and it feels almost like paper (better than the very slippery iPad Pro).
- wonderful for reading full page PDFs!!!
- web browser is almost unusable. Its very slow, and most sites just get stuck. Not sure why it's so bad
- webDAV for file sharing hasn't worked yet, trying to use my Mac as the server, using the WebDAVNav app. Just can't get it to connect and transfer. That makes syncing files with a computer impossible.
- transfer via USB cable works fine. The device shows up as drive on the computer, and you can move files to and from at will.
- it seems that you can only copy/paste what you write in notes. You can't even copy/paste from a PDF to a note (at least I haven't figured out how yet), nor from a web page, or to the URL input box of the browser (although you can select text from a PDF and 'search with google', or 'open link' if it's a link). It would be useful to be able to copy and paste more freely!
I worry that the BACK | HOME | MENU click buttons at the bottom edge of the device will eventually stop working, and then the device will be unusable, because some operations (like going back to the home screen when you are reading a PDF, writing a note, or using the web browser) can ONLY be done with those buttons. Plus they are noisy and not as easy/slick as touching the screen. Thus, I hope that in a future update these buttons are incorporated into the note-taking sidebar (there's plenty of space there for them!) as well as in the pop up of the top edge notification bar, for instance. One way or another, they should be available from the screen!! That would be such an easy and smart thing to do!!!
I will update my review as I keep using it.

Your Paper Trail Ends Here
Yellow pads, loose papers, and file folders are a thing of the past. Sony's handheld letter size Digital Paper lets you easily and securely access files, make and upload handwritten notes and annotated documents, save the files or archive for sharing with clients, colleagues, and coworkers. Increase productivity and streamline collaboration with others via shared files that show your markings and highlights. This superlative tool is durable, portable, and easy to use, with a user friendly screen that reflects ambient light for easy legibility both indoors and out. Digital Paper makes an ideal complement to laptops and tablets.

Here's what makes Digital Paper so useful:
Access, Read, and Work
Read and work on new documents or archives in sharp, easy-to-read text and graphics, full-page letter-size (8.5 inches x 11 inches), so you never need to scroll to read.4 Digital Paper has a 13.3 inch (diagonal) display that renders documents in PDF format.
Hand-write Notes
Just like writing with pen on paper, use the stylus to write fluidly and directly on the panel, easily highlight text and erase notes. You have the same ease of movement, plus the surface rejects your palm, so functionality is never disrupted, the way it can be on regular tablets.
Save, Sync, and Share
Since files can be stored in a document repository, you can collaborate with colleagues who need to work on the same files or save your documents to the archives.
Take Everything With You
Digital Paper's durable frame is light and portable, replacing bulky file folders and briefcases.
Connect Your Devices Via the Cloud
Digital Paper enables a streamlined, wireless transfer of documents to and from a compatible cloud storage service such as Citrix ShareFile. Then view your documents, annotations and all, on any other connected device of your choosing, whether it's a tablet, PC, MAC, or smartphone. So you can read annotate, and save a PDF, then share it with your colleagues via your ShareFile account.
Law
Read and annotate legal documents, use for handwritten notes to replace matter pads.
Higher Education
Read and mark up professional and scientific articles, write formulas, prepare lecture notes.

Feedback
finally got a good one. And love it. 870 is a little expensive but it is good for college student. 🤓🤓🤓
i really love this product, but it seems the quality control is very horrible with this product, the first one i receive the Cap of the pen is broken in the first day, and i did nothing ! i did not even carry it out. and the second I just receive it now, and the home button seems weird, because i compared two DPTS1 the difference, all buttons when I click should have a sound and second DPTS1 other buttons works all good but the home button when i press I can feel nothing, and the seal of the product is horrible, i can even see the inside of the pad...i'm waiting for my 3rd time replacement, please don't let me feel disappointed SONY! the picture is my first DPTS1 which the cap of the pen can not put it back to the device.
