This week we have heard the surprising news that Kobo discontinues its Kobo Glo HD, a powerful eReader that represented the importance of Kobo in the eReader market.
Many speak of a stock problem rather than a recall And they may be right because something similar has happened with the Sony eReader. The last great eReader from Sony, The DPT-S1 was retired a long time ago or at least that was commented, but it looks like it was just a stock issue.
Thus, after months without stock, Sony has re-stocked this eReader with a 13,3-inch screen. A stock that is still the price the eReader came out with. A price much higher than the price of other eReaders like the Onyx BooxMax, an eReader that has the same screen, with Android and almost 100 dollars cheaper than the Sony DPT-S1.
The great Sony DPT-S1 was not retired but out of stock
This return of the Sony DPT-S1 does not represent anything new, the software remains the same and its strengths and weaknesses also remain the same, which makes the eReader quite unappetizing for many users. In addition to the Onyx Boox Max, there are other cheaper alternatives on the market such as the Kobo Aura One.
But you also have to take into account that in a few weeks they will be launched new devices by Apple and Microsoft that will make companies, the market to which this Sony DPT-S1 is aimed, opt for the new devices and not this eReader. So it seems that this stock will be the last of the Sony DPT-S1 or so it seems. In any case, this return does not cease to surprise, not only me but also many people in the sector who do not appreciate this latest Sony eReader.
hello, where could I find a reader from 10 ″ to 13 ″ inches and if you can tell me the pros and cons of the device. I'm interested in a big screen one. I read a lot with these devices and save a lot on paper books; Furthermore, I have already adapted myself in such a way that when I read on a piece of paper I turn the pages or come across a word I don't know, I do it in the same way as with the reader.
