new big ass sony e reader coming to US

>>60645648
no because I use a 27" 4k monitor in portrait with the nexus mod (always view source files) on sadpanda
reading doujins in 4k is the hella privilege

>>60645670
perk not mod but whatever you get it

>>60645648
>$700
DOA

>>60645648
>are you a bad enough dude to spend $700 on a hentai reader

I like ereaders, for reading, but no nothing above $100.

Sony always puts something out at a high price until someone comes along and creates one for a better price. It happens all the time with every Sony product. Wait and buy another company's iteration.

I prefer paper. Sorry trees, but this price is against my principal.

Except that a handful of corporations own all the patents for e-ink displays (Sony among them) and they won't allow competition.

I wanted one when they came out. I still do but I don't have the money at the moment; hopefully I'll have the cash to get one before next semester.

>>60645826
Perhaps they have a monthly installment plan.

>>60645648
Not gonna lie that looks pretty comfy.

>>60645802
I don;t think the Chinese give a fuck about patents anon

I hope it flops and drops in price massively, I want an e-reader.

We had these massive Sony e-readers when I was at uni, the refresh rate is garbage. It's good for reading a PDF but viewing manga on that thing with the constant page turning will not be a pleasant experience.

The large Kobos also have that issue, the technology's not there yet.

>ereader
no it's not

it's a locked down PDF reader peice of shit for close to a grand

Sony is a meme

>>60649359
you should really look into the products you talk shit about. None of what you said is true.

Honestly when I saw the press release of this thing I felt like a normie.
Probably the first time in many years when I saw an electronic gimmick and told myself "I'd have a use for that".
Sounds extremely useful for university classes.
Handbook in one tab, notepad in other tab, handwriting is instantly converted to text, accompanied by drawing a diagram. And everything fits within an A4 notebook size. Mint.

I can't afford a 700 gimmick though, so i'll stick to paper for now.

>>60649387
Oh, how ironic
show me which part is false, I'll wait.

show me where it says it's compatible with ereader data formats?

It's exactly what I said, a locked down PDF reader like it's last iteration. This isn't a new product.

>>60645648
>700
It's already dead

>>60649417
>handwriting is instantly converted to text
yeah, another meme that works 20% of the time

Microshaft can't even get that tech right and they're a giant that throws way more money at these type of problems

My company has been developing everything we've ever made since the 90s on a single MSDN license. Our dev team is about 16 people large. How fucked would we be if MS found out?

Looks nice but
>$700
What could possibly fucking justify this?

They just did boyo

Oh, very nice.
This means I should be able to buy a display from China, and make an e-ink laptop

Fucking Sony. First a $1300 mp3 player (in 2017) and now a $700 kindle?
