Kobo has hands down the best user experience IMO. Kindle has a better finish and build quality, but I don't see myself moving away from the freedom and the usability Kobo gives me.

Awesome review!! I can't wait for mine to arrive.. How's the writing compared to the old elipsa? Is it better? Elipsa 1 tends to get laggy when writing long notes, is the elipsa 2 much faster now? Thanks!

This is something I would really like to see a more in depth look at. Feature wise the elipsa 2 looks perfect for me, but I would really like to know more about: what is the pen latency? How does it compare to the scribe and remarkable 2? Is the writing feel similar to an ipad with pencil? Is it useable for prolonged note taking?

@@JeffVan604 hey, I can help with this since I ended up getting an elipsa 2e! In short, I lagginess is worse than the remarkable 2, but not a lot worse. I write happily and I never felt the latency to be an issue. Overall I'm very happy with the product. There are some gotchas, however: Occasionally I've experienced slowdown when writing. Usually on PDFs and epubs. Locking and unlocking the screen sorts this out. Occasionally, the stylus is detected before touching the screen. Pressing the refresh page solves the issue. For note taking, it fully fulfills my needs. I love using it for reading as well. The number one thing I would love to see is the ability to set the line thickness on the pdf reader. For academic reading it is too thick and that means I need to switch to a notebook if I want any serious note taking to happen.

@@ptMaV that's what i was worried about. If we need to open up a separate thing to take serious notes on an ebook anyway, that simply renders the ONE selling feature of the Elipsa (writing directly on the ebooks) completely pointless.

@@JeffVan604 it really is up to what you're looking after. Writing on the ebook is more than fine. I'd argue it is as good as writing on an actual book, with the advantage of being able to change text settings to leave space on the margins and between lines for you to write on. If the ability to have sticky notes like the scribe is more appealing to you, unfortunately that seems to be the only option as of now.

Good effort in trying to be more environmentally friendly... but I think they kinda messed up with the choice of pen there. Getting users to use their pen that has an additional battery inside is not exactly environmental. It adds to the production of more batteries and more electronic waste. Using standard Wacom pen (that can also provide a similar or better writing experience) is definitely a “greener” choice. But then again, they may have a lot of pens leftover from previous model lying around unsold. Who am I to comment on this? 😅

Thank very much for the review, but I don't see you commenting on the new processor. It has a mediatek core inside, I wanna know if it improves the performance and the autonomy. The autonomy issue is one of the greatest reasons why I didn't change my Kobo Forma for a Sage. If there's an Elipsa, obviously there would be a new Sage 2e. I wanna know if I'm correctly hyped for it.

I think the recycled plastic case is ok but they should really be using aluminium or something for that. Cut off the manufacturing of virgin plastics entirely and use the recycled plastic for things that have to be plastic. Especially because they can only be remade twice or so before they get really degraded and can only be used for insulation or things like that. And once we have replaced that virgin plastic with plant based alternatives or whatever we do, then presumably it would be far easier to keep recycling that kind of material. Maybe you could eventually compost it. But the key thing is to stop making new plastic. Use up the recycled plastic as much as we can and move on.
