For example, they mention it's an amazing piece of technology, useful for hand-written annotations and note taking, and very useful for reading pdfs, papers, and books. That said, they appreciate the weight, saying it'll be easy to transport. One downside is the durability, with customers complaining about the tip breaking off easily and the pen wearing out quickly.

Customers like the writing experience of the graphic tablet. They mention that the writing function is so so, making the device useful for hand-written annotations and note taking.

Additional update: **DURABLE**!! (12/17)
In a rather tragic accident, I tripped and fell recently. My laptop bag, containing my Sony Digital Paper and laptop went flying into the street, and the edge of the bag was run over by a car. The Digital Paper fills the bag, so it was unquestionably run over. Despite some minor damage to the case edge, my digital paper still works perfectly. My laptop, on the other hand, was obliterated. I'm amazed. If I could add 5 more stars, I would.
Updated review: (few days after purchase)
After several days of use, this device has already become indispensible for me.
As a full time employee managing budgets, workflows, and supervising employees, this device is great - it keeps every document I need organized and accessible. The ability to print directly to the device is huge boon to my productivity. My work also relies heavily on an inordinate amount of technical manuals. This works really well for those, and the search function is extremely quick. As an aside, the acknowledgement that Sony is planning to add jump to page and table of contents functionality is something that I'm really glad to hear about, as this helps with navigation in large documents. As a workaround for the timebeing - the searchable symbols work well, and I purchased a one month subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro to create chapter hyperlinks in the larger PDF files that lack them. There is probably a free pdf software that allows for this until the firmware update adds jump to page and TOC navigation, but Adobe Acrobat Pro on a monthly subscription basis is worth it. That said, you really could get away with using the searchable star/asterix symbols until the firmware update is released.
As a graduate student, on top of fulltime work, this is a life saver. I use it for both textbooks and the inordinate amount of articles I read. The ability to have side notes for each document has been really useful to synthesize the notes I take in my textbooks. The pen works so much better than I expected - it's a great writing experience. The highlight button is a little high on the pen for really comfortable heavy highlighter use (the ability to switch button functions could be a useful firmware update), but the highlighting and erase buttons are a breeze to use. You'll probably want to stock up on pen nibs since they do wear down over time.
I have the digital paper app on both my home and work computers, and you can set different sync folders on each device, which is really handy. I'm mostly syncing from my OneDrive sync folder on my home PC, and it syncs all of the subfolders flawlessly (while skipping any that don't have PDFs).
I used an Ipad for several years, and was never able to focus for extended periods the way I can with this device. The screen glare was annoying and I switched to other apps too easily with the Ipad. This device really lets me focus in an unobstructed and massively more productive way. The large screen makes a huge difference over smaller eInk devices I own (including a 9.7 inch device) - there really isn't a comparison. It's a great reading and writing experience. I honestly expected to be disappointed - I really did - but I'm pretty blown away by this device (and I'm a pretty critical consumer).
I've added my entire PDF ebook collection (several hundred items), and some unexpected great use cases I've found are my cookbooks and foreign language textbooks and workbooks. The ability to erase your answers in workbooks makes them infinitely re-usable, which is awesome. If you buy your ebooks in PDF format, they look great on this device.
I have over 3,000 documents loaded, including lots of large image heavy 400+mb pdf files. This handles them perfectly and is shockingly fast.
Honestly, this is the best purchase/investment I've made in years.
Nevertheless it can be enhanced in several ways. I've been using it for about a week now, mainly reading PDF files, highlighting, coding text and making notes. So here are my pros and cons for now.
+
perfect screen size for paper reading
able to read notes made previously in Adobe
jump from in-text citation to bibliography (but sadly not back to where you were)
light weight, easy to transport
long battery life
good for highlighting, making short notes
Adobe highlighted areas sync with DPT highlights
I enjoy the simplicity of the device: no apps, just read
-
what bothers me most:
fifty percent of the time I have to swipe three times before the page actually turns, the screen is not responsive
writing is a lot slower than I expected
there is only one folder with documents, sub-folders are not visible on the device
other issues:
the top part (with the home button) was slightly wrinkled when I received the device
I received an incompatible USB cable in the package
calibrating pen does only work for horizontal writing, writing vertically works poorly (because of the different position), furthermore when I'm in a sofa for example, the position is different and it doesn't work as well
pc connection interferes with VPN connection
the tip leaves stains on the screen once it's worn of (after one week in my case, which I believe is quite fast)
In conclusion, I love the device, I like to work with it, it does the trick in my line of work. But this is a pricey device so I was quite disappointed with the issues that I have been experiencing (they seem quite basic and should have been resolved before releasing the device).
I'll be experimenting some more (compatibility with NVIVO etc.) and am curious about other user experiences and about Sony's responses to the above downsides that have also been signaled by other users.
I will say that the reviewer that lost files taught me something. It does NOT automatically back up files on the computer. However, manually creating a backup is easy. I’m doing that as I write this to avoid the same fate as that reviewer.
This is awesome for academic/professional reading and notes. I also have a Remarkable for daily notes because of the web storage. I really prefer the 13 inch screen for academic reading.
Overall, the Sony feels much more polished and elegant than the Remarkable. I was always a fan of the Sony ereaders back in the day as they were much more elegant than kindles. Unfortunately the clunky store was a failure. I think the clunky file management on this is unnecessarily holding it back. If Sony could have the same talent in software development as they have in hardware development they’d do much better!
The Sony cover for this is perfect, it seems pricey but it’s worth it as it perfectly matches the reader.

The writing on this device feels like on the paper.
Battery lasts long enough.
Disadvantages:
Limited number of tips for the pen.
It doesn't have backlighting.
