Many of you will probably find it strange to see the words "eReader" and "Sony" in the title of this post, but the Japanese company still manufactures and sells these types of devices in Japan. Furthermore, its large-screen eReader with a 13,3-inch display, known as the DPTS1 , is still sold outside of Japan and can be purchased in countries such as the United States.
This very device, which caught our attention back in the day, and which we still love so much, has been updated with a new software version that incorporates new and interesting improvements for all users who have decided to spend a large amount of money on this eReader.
If you are one of the lucky ones to have one of these electronic books, we must first tell you that the update is only available for devices that are sold in Japan, and therefore if you have bought them in the United States or another country at the moment you will not be able to access the new options and functions.
However, you shouldn't be angry with Sony, because one of the main improvements needed for this device, which is the ability to support more formats, hasn't arrived with this new software, so it will only be possible to work with documents in PDF or EPUB format.
Below we show you the new features and options that you can find in this 13,3-inch Sony eReader :
- Adding an eraser
- Possibility of handwriting on enlarged images
- New note templates have been added
- From now on it will be possible to add or delete pages from a PDF document
- The undo / redo function has been implemented
- Ability to add or delete folders
There are not too many new functions and options incorporated, but if all of them are very necessary and surely they are very well received by all users.
To end this article, I cannot miss the opportunity to criticize Sony and all its executives who have decided not to sell this device worldwide, and that is because with that large screen it would be the ideal complement for many, including myself .
It's one thing to stop selling eReaders because it wasn't profitable for you, but this eReader is special and I think it should be marketed globally as it would be very successful without a doubt.
Would you buy an eReader like this one from Sony with a 13,3-inch screen?
