    Es el peor producto que he comprado me he gastado mรกs de 600 dรณlares y nunca el producto se me ha caรญdo he pedido que me lo revisen para que comprueben que es parte de su pantalla mรกs no de golpe ya que el producto ha estado guardado en su caja, despuรฉs de 20 dรญas quiero ver un libro y me doy con la sorpresa que esta asi he reclamado a kobo y solo dicen que es daรฑo fรญsico y he pedido que me lo revisen y se han negado para demostrar que es su pantalla no lo recomiendo este libro es el peor de todos. 600 dรณlares al agua y lo peor solo tiene 4 meses. De comprado. It is the worst product I have ever bought. I have spent more than 600 dollars and I have never dropped the product. I have asked them to inspect it to verify that it is part of the screen, but not suddenly since the product has been stored in its box, after 20 days I want to see a book and I am surprised that it is like this. I have complained to Kobo and they only say that it is physical damage and I have asked them to inspect it and they have refused to prove that it is their screen. I do not recommend it. This book is the worst of all. 600 dollars overboard and the worst thing is only 4 months old. From purchased. I recommend that you do not buy it, the company is not responsible.

      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.

      First off, Iโ€™m well aware this is marketed as a note taking device, and it does that just fine. However my primary use is using it as a large screen e reader. The screen brightness and yellow light settings are marvelous, I only have it at 45% brightness and thatโ€™s plenty. The large screen estate fits more than your standard 6-7โ€ e readers and I love it! I know Amazon has their own but I ultimately chose kobo because of the customization options for the fonts. I donโ€™t like how limited the Amazon one was and this has opened up so many other font options as well as like thickness, like spacing, etc. The battery life is a dream, given something this large it well sufficient. Got it out of the box on full battery, read for a whole day nonstop and it only went down to 90 by the 3rd day in the afternoon. Truly the dream e reader. I only wish it had page turn buttons.

      This e-reader excels as a pure reading device. It is the lightest 10" device on the market, weighing about 375g, and is a pleasure to hold for long periods while reading. It also has a textured plastic shell that makes it easy to grip. Page turns are quick and the screen is on par with others using this e-ink panel. Battery life is excellent and having a back-lit panel is ideal for night-time reading. Integration with Google drive is a big plus.

      Where this falls short of being a perfect e-reader is the implementation of the pen, but if note-taking is not needed, it's a moot point. One example is palm rejection is really not good. Another is using the pen to make highlights requires pushing the side button on the pen each time (there's no setting for fast highlighting). Besides being below par for note-taking, one odd thing is in portrait mode, it always opens with the document oriented for a left-handed reader (thicker side to the right), and I have to tilt it to get to flip it 180deg for a right-handed reader. There doesn't appear to be a way to lock this orientation for a right-hander.

      Hopefully Kobo improves these things in the next version, but as is, it's a great reader.

      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.

      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.

      Erg blij met de aankoop. Fijn dat de Kobo Plus boeken te lezen zijn. En fijn dat ik vanuit Google Drive (en Dropbox) epubs kan lezen.

      I use this product daily in the office to take notes, draw schemes and map ideas, and export my notes regularly to a Word document for further processing on the PC. Not to mention reading books during my train journeys.
      The e-reader is easy to use, with simple, straightforward menus, has a great feel too it and a generous screen, and the export function to Word or PDF is very satisfactory.
      I can recommend it highly without any reservations.

      5.0 out of 5 stars una libreria leggerissima nello zaino
      Reviewed in Italy on December 5, 2024
      Prediligo ancora la carta, ma questo รจ un oggetto che si fa comunque apprezzare. Consigliato ai pendolari e ai viaggiatori in genere attenti al peso del bagaglio e ai compratori ossessivo-compulsivi di libri che hanno esaurito ogni superficie utile in casa. Esperienze dirette.
      Mi piace la possibilitร  di poter evidenziare parti di testo e aggiungere note personali.
      Comfort di lettura decisamente superiore a qualunque tablet/smartphone.
      Durata carica della batteria ottima
