Our verdict

A large-screen E Ink reader and notebook for people who mark up books and documents with a stylus. Battery and format details in the listing are sparse, so check them against your library first.

Overview

An E Ink Carta screen with a glare-free finish and the ComfortLight PRO front light handles reading on the Kobo Elipsa, while the bundled Kobo stylus writes notes straight onto pages. Notebooks can be created and organized on the device, and it connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Writing on a large paper-like screen is the strongest case for it, with the stylus in the box and notebook tools built in. Listing details are thin: the battery life entry is unclear and file support names only PDF, so confirm the formats you use.

Who it's for

Readers who annotate documents, study papers or keep handwritten notebooks get the most from the big screen and bundled pen. People who read only novels on the go will find it larger than they need.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large glare-free E Ink Carta screen
  • Stylus included in the box
  • Create and organize notebooks
  • Adjustable ComfortLight PRO front light
Cons
  • Battery life figure in listing is unclear
  • Only PDF listed as a file format

Performance notes

Readability comes from the E Ink panel reflecting room light, with the front light filling in when it is dark, so glare from lamps and windows stays low. Note-taking feel depends on how well the stylus and touch layer track the pen, and page turns and handwriting response lean on the processor.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Kobo Elipsa 2E screen large enough for reading PDFs?

PDF is the file format named in the listing, and the 10.3 inch screen at 1872x1404 shows full pages with the stylus available for markup.

What file formats does the Kobo Elipsa 2E read?

The listing names only PDF. Check Kobo's support pages for other formats before buying.

Is the Kobo Elipsa 2E a tablet?

No. It is an E Ink eReader with note-taking. It has a touchscreen, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but the listing does not describe apps or video playback.

How long does the Kobo Elipsa 2E battery last?

The listing shows 2 hours as average battery life, which looks like a listing error for an E Ink reader. Confirm with Kobo before relying on it.
