Sony's electronic paper will be available in May, allowing users to squiggle on paper using a dedicated pen, according to Slash Gear.

The screen of the device is 13.3-inch, 1,200 x 1,600 pixels resolution, on a thin frame of about 30 sheets of true paper overlap.

Content displayed on the screen can be marked with an electronic pen.

The idea behind this device is that users download their documents in the .pdf format, then annotate the necessary information, like Google Docs in conjunction with Amazon Kindle.

Once completed, the edit can be saved or shared to a colleague.

The price is expected to be about $ 1,100, which makes the device a WiFi hotspot, promising to be an interesting 'toy'.
