As mentioned earlier, the body of the Elipsa 2E is 85% recycled plastic, including some that would have ended up in our oceans. It’s to Kobo’s credit that the company is using as much recycled plastic to make its latest products as possible.

The reMarkable 2, on the other hand, costs $399 / £399 / $499 for the tablet alone and you’ll need to pay an extra $49 / £49 / AU$79 to get the Marker (stylus). The Amazon Kindle Scribe with 32GB of storage (like the Kobo) and shipping with the Premium Pen but no case will cost you $390 / £380 / AU$629, a marginally cheaper option but with very limited writing tools in comparison. This needs to be purchased separately for $69.99 / £69.99 / AU$119.95 and you are going to need it if you want a secure spot for the Kobo Stylus 2 when transporting the Elipsa 2E.ĭespite needing to buy the sleepcover separately, the Kobo Elipsa 2E is competitively priced. What is a bummer is that the Elipsa 2E will not ship with a sleepcover like the older model did. However, given the economic conditions, that’s no surprise, and this price does include the cost of the stylus for all customers in every market that Kobo is available in. It’s a different story in Australia, where the original Elipsa launched for AU$599 and the new model will now set you back AU$629.95. The launch price of the Kobo Elipsa 2E remains the same as its predecessor’s in the US and UK, arriving with a tag of $399.99 and £349.99 respectively. Available now from Kobo and select retailers in most markets.

Plus there’s handwriting recognition that’s almost perfect, hand-drawn diagrams that get automatically digitized, and it can even recognize superscripts. Inheriting the Advanced Notebooks that first launched with the original Elipsa, there’s more page templates and pen options to choose from. That said, this 10.3-inch note-taking ereader has functionality that leaves the Kindle Scribe in the dust. I've been using a Kobo as my go-to ereader since the days of the Kobo Glo and I’m still waiting for a more premium-looking option. This eco-friendly approach that began with the Kobo Clara 2E is admirable, but the overall design of the Elipsa 2E hasn’t changed much and is now looking dated when compared to the likes of the Amazon Kindle Scribe and the Onyx Boox Note Air 2. Physically, not a lot has changed although Kobo claims that 85% of the Elipsa 2E’s body has been made from recycled plastic, 10% of which is ocean-bound plastic.
