This is the second generation model of it, and Sony’s new digital ink eWriter and eReader have become even better this year. But this isn’t your normal tablet. Instead, this is tool mainly developed for professionals that pile through large amounts of documents regularly, and who like to keep them organized. It’s a smart and useful tool, once you get into to it.

It has a 16GB storage capacity, with full Wi-Fi cover and Bluetooth 4.2 for transferring files to computers, phones, or printers, unless you want to use the USB port for transfer instead. It comes with it’s own Digital Paper App for file sharing and file transfer.
