Weird - no backlight is a big loss and very limited. PDFs are a poor format for ebook readers too as they don't reflow well if at all. Instant tank IMO unless they can get a publishing/distribution deal tied in to provide end to end book replacement service. And I'm a big fan of high end ebook readers.
This looks good and useful for quick notes but the lag on that scares me.
Looks like a very typical first generation product, I only hope that enough of them sell to justify the subsequent generations as the overall idea does seem to be a good one.

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
Agree completely with Lucio's comments. You can see where this is going and it's a great first effort, but it's going to need more refinement and a lower price before I'd consider it.
Not just before you consider it, I think before anyone considers it. This will be a big flop for Sony.Originally Posted by cptwhite_uk
"aimed at <snip> higher education" I'm sorry, but who in higher education? As a student, I definitely can't afford it, as a lecturer the notes are online or on a few hundred paper copies, and as a researcher... well I don't actually know, maybe. Make it cheap enough to pay for itself in saved paper, or add android, apps, etc.
