For those who really want a PDF annotator, Sony sells a large mostly-equivalent of this, there's the Sony DPT-S1

This is a pro device, costs almost $1000. I don't own one but a friend does... it's very magical looking, and feels nice for the 2 minutes I used it.

Sad thing is that Sony was meant to be going global in '13. It's probably well overdue a v2 by now!

Think they're down to about $700 now. Any on ebay and Amazon are from Japan with no English!!

Looked at these a few times hoping they were going on wider release. With Sony out of eBooks, and selling off Vaio, doesn't look promising for a replacement.

Yeah I wish I had one. It looks discontinued though https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Sony-Digital-Paper-DPTS1-4...

It sucks that you can buy a large tablet for $50 but epaper is so expensive.

they've been dumping the price and trying to empty their warehouses, so I'm not sure if you can actually buy it anymore. at least not outside of japan.

If your device works well as a PDF annotator, it's going to have a huge market among academics, who right now have a number of very bad solutions to the problem. For me personally, I'm thrilled by the possibility of being able to write unlimited marginalia.

[sandsmark]

academia is one of the biggest target groups, both in terms of marketing and development focus.

Can confirm. I'm in academia and preordered this soon after hearing about it.
