I will note that, like some other dedicated e-readers, there is a flash-like effect when the pages turn it lasts a split second, but is noticeable, particularly early on. Turning pages is as easy as swiping across the screen or tapping the edge of the page. I started reading on the Kobo Elipsa 2E right away and found it comfortable and easy on the eyes, and I really enjoyed the larger page size. You can also borrow library books using OverDrive too.
You can shop digital books on the reader itself, or go to Kobo’s website to choose something and it will automatically sync to your tablet. Getting the device set up, was actually quite easy with it charged up and powered on, you will either sign into or create a Kobo account then connect to your homes Wi-Fi and you’re ready to go. The price, for reference, is $499CAD/$399US. So far it seems like the reason for that is you’re not just getting an e-reader but you’re also getting a digital notebook too… something akin to Moleskine Smart Writing Set or Rocketbook, both of which I’ve reviewed and you can check out.
The last key factor I will highlight here is that this e-reader is significantly more expensive than average. With a built-in notebook feature that syncs with Dropbox and Google Docs, you can create handwritten notes, scribble thoughts, journal your days or organize notes from your books and reading materials, then sync it all to the cloud. The stylus allows you to do things like highlight text, or make notes in the margins, or to draw, create, or otherwise scribble your thoughts into the notebook… which is our next key feature. The next special feature of this is that there is a pen included in the package, known as the Stylus 2. Like almost all e-readers, the screen is grayscale only.
