Sony Digital Paper: E-Ink Tablet With Better Display Available This June
Sony's updated Digital Paper tablet comes with a better display that is more responsive and precise despite being cheaper than its predecessor. It also features a sleek new design that will easily match its professional users' styles.
The second-generation e-reader features a 13.3-inch display with a resolution of 1,650 x 2,200 pixels and pixel density of 207 pixels per inch (ppi). The new E Ink Mobius display is able to deliver a higher resolution that displays text that is clearer and sharper. Also, the underlying technology made it possible for the new Digital Paper to have a lightweight build. Specifically, it is only 0.23 inches thin and weighs 12.3 ounces.
Moreover, the new Digital Paper has a glare-free, paper-like display so users can comfortably view 8.5 x 11-inch documents for long periods of time, even when they are under harsh sunlight.

The tablet has 16 GB of built-in storage, which translates to about 10,000 PDF files.

Users will be able to transfer single or multiple files to and from PC and Mac via the Digital Paper companion app. The tablet can connect via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It can also automatically sync with cloud-based storage options like Dropbox, Box and Google Docs.
