Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The resolution, refresh rate, and hardware is a lot better compared to the DPT-S1. UPDATE: 1. Sony updated the firmware for the device so navigation by table of contents is possible. With this update, the main pain points on using the DPT-RP1 are gone. 2. It would be the perfect e-reader if it supported more formats. Currently it only supports PDFs. If it supported epub, mobi, djvu it would compete very well with the Onyx Boox Max 2 as an all-in-one reader. ORIGINAL Review: However, the software is a lot worse. 1. There is no "Go To Page #" functionality, there is only a slider to go to a specific page. In a PDF with lots of pages it makes it a pain to jump around. 2. There is also no way to look at the Table of Contents. 3. There is no toolbar like in the DPT-S1 which had the next and previous buttons. So now to turn the page you are always forced to use gestures. I'd rather just tap on the side to turn the page like on the Kindle or DPT-S1 with the toolbar. 4. There is no back button, so if you click on an annotation or link and it brings you to another page the only way to get back to the previous page is to use the page slider. 5. The DPT-S1 had the concept of Workspaces, this model does not. The DPT-RP1 only allows you to see "Documents in the Same Folder" or "Recently Read". If you view Recently Read, there is no way to remove a document from the list if it is no longer relevant like in the DPT-S1. 6. There is no date timestamp to show you when the the document was added when viewing the documents in the Folders. A timestamp is a lot more useful than a "New" icon. 7. The cap to cover the pen's USB connector is attached by a thin piece of plastic. It looks like it could easily be broken off.
