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.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016First 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2016Pros:
- LIghtweight
- Responsive stylus
- Big screen
- Long battery life
Cons:
- Slow-ish
- Difficult to connect to network storage
- Limited sync options
- Limited text contrast.
We bought this to be a digital paper solution for television control room operators. The hope was to put files into a share on a Windows server, connect the DPTS1 to that share, and have access to the files simply, as we would do with any Windows device (or Android, for that matter).
No dice. The DPTS1 used WebDAV protocol (only... no SMB) which I'd never heard of before. Windows server does has a WebDAV component (not installed by default), and while it works, it isn't good and definitely not simple. To make matters worse is the sync behavior. If we put files in the WebDAV folder on the server. That will sync to the DPTS1 (good), but the automatic sync only checks every 90 minutes (not so good, and not configurable). Yes, the DPTS1 user can force a sync, which helps.
Afterwards, we want a network user to be able to delete a file from the WebDAV folder and have that deletion be synced to the DPTS1 (delete the file on that device). Nope. In fact, it's worse: the DPTS1 will see the file missing from the network folder, and will re-sync the file by uploading the DPTS1 copy of the file back to the network folder! Not what we want to happen. So, in order for files to be deleted from the DPTS1, it has to be done locally, on the device itself. That puts the file management burden on the user, not what we want to do.
Next: a DPTS1 user can write notes on the local PDF files, and those changed files can be written back to the WebDAV folder. However, they don't overwrite the original file as we expected. They have to go in some other folder (inconvenient), and each version of the changed PDF is saved separately, with a file name changed to show the date of the file. I suppose this can be useful in some situations, but we'd like to option to change this behavior.
The text contrast on the screen is okay, but not great. It on-par with pre-Paperwhite Kindle screens. The background is not white enough, and the text isn't black enough (for lower light environments).
Everyone who picks it up is amazed at how light it is, and usage is very intuitive. We can deal with the nominal screen performance, but really need the networking and sync behavior to be changed to make this a really suitable paper replacement in our shop.
