Sony DPTS1 13.3 inch E-reader

It's only $799 now.

Awesome!
Just 20 more years until it's actually affordable!

What is the absolute best e-reader at an affordable price?

Kek

Why is this so expensive?

Who would actually buy this?

what's so special about this ereader? Is it indestructible or something? I still have my kindle keyboard with 3g that I got in like 2012 and the battery is still strong and so are the buttons and the screen..

The feature list looks really nice, but the pricing is effed.
This is why Sony isn't as important as they used to be.

Looks nice, I would buy it for 100-200$

you didn't fall for the teenager job meme did you?

why would your life go like this
>hurr i know i'll work in retail/fast food
>this is a great job to live off of, even as a single guy
>oh god i can't afford anything obama raise minimum wage please i'm not overpaid enough
when it could go like this
>i know, my first job will be at the mill
>i'm making fucking $25 an hour holy shit
>that guy lost his finger this is fucking metal
>i own a subaru WRX made of iPads i'm the god of the fucking middle class
>time to get promoted to floor manager

you should look at their in-car stereo options. The only one that doesn't look like it came straight out of a Michael Bay film is $1500

Nice.
I have a friend who works at a mill, and an uncle who worked at the mill.
The uncle pretty much lead a good life and made more money than most of his college-grad friends.
That being said, I'm going for a career in tech.

Oh I'm familiar with Sony stuff, it's one of my favorite brands, but the past decade and a half they really fucked up.

Remember, you're wasting your life if you can't move up to a position where you never write a single line of code and never deal with a customer unless you intend to.

It's big.

Pretty much. I think it only supports PDF though. Wish it had image support. zip/cbz and rar/cbr would be even better.

It's just a fucking 13" e ink reader.

Sony and their poojet shills seem to think they can charge Apple tier prices for this shit

>muh PDFs

Any tablet will handle PDFs better than this and any other ereader

Maybe if it had color eink it would be worth this, but it's just an oversized Kindle with a pen

what job would let you move to such a position?

A second hand Kindle 4 on eBay

I got one for free from my job because of a "decluttering" initiative. Instead of having too much paper we now have too many wasteful devices.

It's actually pretty sweet, though. Considering my use case I would have paid at least 300 dollarydoos for it. I would pay full price if it had color support.

Also for a law firm this would be worth the money as well

Me
I would buy this

As a research scientist, I would love this. It is a bit too expensive though - I'd go up yo £250 or so.

Any managerial role, any team director role, and, naturally, CEO and MD positions. Form a breakaway as soon as you have a good group.

What's the benefit of e-ink displays?
Low power?

Battery life and not requiring backlighting. It behaves like paper. In the sun you can see the text, it requires light shone on it to see it rather than the LCD typical behaviour of being unusable in sunlight.

Or just purchase 4 used-but-like-new X200T computers and network them, and still have $400 dollars left over for "escort service".

We also know how great Sony product support is, right?

It's a bargain!

On a related note, is anyone here in the market for a kidney?

>$799 is expensive

>wealthy people get that way by paying more than necessary

Trustfund baby detected.

I smell curry, do you?

Med students that have to read and memorize papers.

Of course not you filthy paki.

>Trying to brag about being suckered
WEW. I'm glad your parents are doing so well with knowing everything they worked for while be spent by you before they're dead.

They were working too hard to raise him properly.

Why not just get some chinkshit tablet + stylus from Aliexpress or else and have color and every other W10 (cough cough, I know) thing you can do?

At $400 I'd consider it, so it's currently only 100% overpriced.

200 is about the right price.

Who wants to read a 13" book?!?

Very happy with my 6" readers

>Calling digital paper an e reader

Why's it so expensive?
~Benjamin Johnson

6" LOL not gonna read on something smaller than my dick

Maybe if you could fold it in half

im planning to go into industrial military physics research for radar encryption. is there any space for that?

consultant 4 lyf

why don't more companies make big e readers if it's so cheap to you faggots?

>Not using pdf text reflow on a small kindle
come on Sup Forums

What's a good alternative to this? This would be very useful for note taking

is it actually fast enough for handling pdfs ?

I have this old A4-sized Pocketbook Pro, which supports all formats but is really slow with pdfs. I have to wait several seconds to turn pages. And if it's over 10MB there are random crashes.
