I am very happy with this Kobo reader. I've owned kindles over the years, but the screens were too small and it was annoying to get books from outside the amazon ecosystem installed. The Kobo has its own ecosystem/web store, which seems fine. I am more interested in reading public domain and other non-copy protected books. For that, I find that the built in web browser is great; you just point it at the Epub site you are using, and download directly. For academic papers (JSTOR), this would be an OUTSTANDING reader, since it handles PDFs very nicely. The 10 inch screen is a must for PDFs. The pen and note taking abilities are a great bonus as well. I find that the pen keeps up amazingly well with rapid handwriting; no irritating lag at all. Very well executed firmware and UI, in my opinion.

I've been using the Kobo Elipsa 2E for about three months, and it’s very good. The 10.3-inch screen is a nice upgrade from my previous 7-inch reader, especially for PDFs—no more struggling with navigation as the whole page fits well. It’s great for bedtime reading, with a comfortable light and very good screen quality. That said, the" Elipsa 2E Black Sleepcover" is quite expensive at around $70 in the US (but I've got one, and still recommend it, because of good quality) . While the cover is good, I feel it should be bundled with the eReader at a reduced price. Another drawback is with the Notebook software; when using the stylus, it gets confused by input from the bottom of the palm (near the wrist) while writing. It would be great to have an option to disable touch input for that part of the hand and accept stylus-only input, but I couldn’t find this setting.

Don’t get me wrong: I LOVEmy Kindle Scribe! However, I’ve used it three times since I have had my Kobo Elipsa 2e. I love that it is lighter than my Kindle Scribe. I enjoy being able to purchase books ($1 more than Kindle) and love how I can set up my reading preferences, locking it to portrait reading (couldn’t on the Clara). I HATE, HATE, HATE: that I cannot sync to the furthest page read, if I am switch from the app to the Elipsa; that if I buy a book from another source, it does not automatically get added to a series. I mean if I can save on buying the book somewhere else and add it to the Elipsa, KOBO needs to catch up and allow the data to sync for series. The library is clunky. Come on KOBO. Ya’ll have been around enough to have fixed these very basic design and digital issues. It is lighter and the size is perfect for me. It is comfortable to hold and the lack of buttons, besides the power button, is perfect for me. The writing experience is lagging behind Kindle, Remarkable and Super Note, so I don’t use it for work, which it would be very useful for all of my many different meetings and projects. There are page change lags one to two times a day with about four hours of reading with the pages jumbling, freezing for a moment then operating normally. KOBO please fix the software where digital info from books from other sources can sync with the KOBO for syncing series and fix the syn to furthest page read on the Elipsa and in the app. The app does have the sync option pop up, but it does it when you are at the furthest page read and will take you back to when you last shut the book. Overall, the Elipsa is solid to use especially for those getting out of the kindle sphere where you don’t own the books you purchased and can no longer download them. These two things will have me going back to my Kindle Scribe and painstakingly adding other sourced books. The Elissa may be lighter and an almost comparable screen reading experience, but those are two must haves for me.

The device was shipped very fast it came from Amazon Warehouse and not directly from Kobo-Rakuten Canada. All good for 24 hours until the Stylus 2 stopped working. It's dead. Defective from the factory I presume. Also, the first Kobo I owned that is not made in Taiwan, it's made in China. Not trying to use "guilty by association" but just feel that there's always something wrong that is obvious and some not so much but will rear its ugly head soon enough. Anyway, though I'd like to just keep using it, I just don't feel comfortable as I am a bit nervous about what else will eventually fail prematurely. Lastly, I have purchased the Elipsa to mainly leverage its large screen to read PDFs and annotate with its writing capabilities. However, there are two major flaws. First, although the PDF can be enlarged or shrunk to fit the entire screen, the letter contrast on the screen could be clearer and there's no way to customize it. I have no such issue with my Remarkable 2 with contrast - and it is sharper and has nearly unlimited levels of grayness which allows it to reproduce illustrations way better than the Kobo. Second, once I resize it on the screen, it's very easy to knock it off alignment then I need to re-adjust it again over and over, this is very annoying. I also noticed that it lacks the feature where if I want to change a page, it does not allow me to use either a "tap & swipe" or "swipe" but no "tap only" So back to my point, Remarkable 2 is hands down better for PDF but does not have backlighting and very limited features as a capable Reader. Another handicap is its writing capability. It's not terrible but it's not great either. My benchmark is Remarkable 2. It does not come close. The writing capability of the Kobo Elipsa 2 feels ancient compares to the Remarkable 2. First, the marker needs to be charged before you can use it; RM2 does not. Second, when writing on the screen, RM2 feels like real paper; the Kobo Elipsa 2 feels like you're writing on the car's windshield. And the lag is quite noticeable as the pen is far ahead of where the actual line shows up. And there's no way to adjust the thickness of the lines. Lastly, the pen feels like it's hovering over the screen whereby the RM2, appears as the line and the market tip are touching each other as you write. Elipsa 2E does have more features for reading eBooks but the display with its lower resolution and lack of finite shades of grades severely handicaps being a good PDF reader. Another issue is that I purchased the OEM sleep cover with the Elipsa 2E which is very expensive. I've had a good experience with Clara 2E's OEM sleepover so I took a chance. Other than its ability to provide that auto-sleeping capability, it lacks two major functions. Ability to use it as a stand such as the Clara 2E's sleep cover (origami folding stand) and provide protection for the back of the unit. It has neither. Not only that, the part that bends wobbles so when closed, the magnetic part pulls the bottom side down which misaligns where the top corner is exposed. You have to slide it down then it aligns. Poor Q/A in my opinion, and this is also another reason I try to stay away from products made in China. They always seem to have some issue in the beginning or eventually and you wind up hating it over time. I rarely had this issue with Kobos made in Taiwan.

It’s exactly what I need, a note taking option that isn’t a legal pad, a place for my e-books, and I can upload my slides for my education week before I travel to reduce what I’m carrying on the plane. Battery life is great and the pen works fairly well for a lift and the tablet.

I absolutely love this thing. Sure during more complex operations in the advanced notebook, it can take a second. Getting used to the stylus takes time, but the build quality, the feeling of the materials, the lightness, I absolutely love using this thing. I have been part of the Kobo ecosystem for a few years, so all of my books besides a couple are on Kobo. Because of this, setup took about 3 minutes. It's not necessarily a great budget e-reader, it's fairly expensive, but in comparison to other e-reader/note taking e-ink devices, it's a good deal to me. My unit did come with a small defect in the surface of the screen, but I anticipate using this thing and getting it fairly banged up for a long time, so whatever. I absolutely love sitting down and just reading on this device. I have made notebooks and folders etc for my business classes to help me have quick and easy to review notes on accounting specifics, then I can throw my headphones on and sit and read Andy Weir books and get lost in the stories. Pure love for this thing.

I expected to like this product a lot more than I actually do. It's driven me crazy for years that kindle can't manage to allow on page note taking, which is very important to me. So I jumped ship a few months ago because I live under a rock and had never heard of Kobo. And you can definitely take notes as advertised, which for me gives it a decisive win vs the kindle. But if you're not a fanatic about that feature then kindle is the way to go. And if you just want to highlight rather than actually write on the page, kindle is much smoother. The kobo underlining feature is pretty cumbersome. In addition, the Kobo screen freezes up A LOT. It eventually unfreezes then it often goes jumping around if you've pushed stuff trying to unfreeze it (lesson learned: be patient) That major bug definitely slows down your reading. Downloading newly purchased books can often be a chore as well, at least relative to kindle. I don't care as much about the screen brightness and color, but kindle definitely wins in that category as well. Lastly, I'm not sure if it's because I'm left handed but the Kobo tends to jump to another page or do something else unasked for much more than a kindle. I, like many people, wish kindle and kobo could get together and create the perfect e-reader. For now, I actually stick mostly to print books unless I'm in the mood for a somewhat bumpy ride with Kobo.

I purchased this Elipsa 2e primarily for reading, not note taking, and find it an excellent device for that purpose. I like the 10.3” screen size which allows for larger text sizes. And there is plenty of room for using Gestures and QuickMenus while using KOReader. And it arrived very quickly which I appreciated.
