Heh I like this. It's essentially a gigantic electronic notepad.
Still I gotta ask: Whats the plan when someone can buy
A decent tablet and evernote for less?
knowing Sony, this is going to be locked down to their own service.
i wonder if it runs its own OS or a stripped down version of android?

It's neat, but an iPad is a more general-purpose solution IMO. If I only wanted a reader/notebook and I didn't want all the other things I can do on an iPad, maybe.

How about "e-paper" mode on ipad pro which would automatically hibernate all other apps to minimize the battery usage? Just crazy ideating.

Nice, but it's too expensive for me.
There are Japanese youtuber's review videos. (He speaks Japanese.)
Sony lent a product for him.
Japanese version color is white. But, is other's color black?
The video doesn't work in Safari. Only in Chrome, I can watch the promo video. With this type of advertising, Sony will never regain former glory. Just compare this promo and web site with iPad Pro. Product looks interesting but super expensive. And this screen doesn't work in the dark, right?

A big Kindle that only runs Acrobat Pro for $699? Maybe I'm missing something, but how did this get beyond the "i've got a neat idea" phase?

It looks like Sony searched through ProductHunt, saw reMarkable https://www.producthunt.com/post... that we got presented here few months ago, then created their own, but just more pricey :)

It is too pricey for now really, but Sony's got the attention with this gadget. I think if the technology becomes much chipper in future this thing will be used by every student at schools and universities.

This concept is definitely praise-worthy, especially considering how it helps edge towards the paperless office. However, aren't mobile forms delivering somewhat similar functionality minus the price of a device?
