Kindle Scribe Killer? | Kobo Elipsa 2E E-Reader Unboxing & Tour
542Unboxing the Kobo Elipsa 2E with a hands-on review of the features and comparison vs Amazon's Kindle Scribe to see which is the best eReader of 2023.
The Kobo Elipsa 2E offers a similar stylus-driven reader experience, with a slightly larger 10.3-inch e-ink display. It's great for annotating and highlighting passages in your ebooks, while performance and battery life are also respectable. That said, the Kindle Scribe offers a larger online catalogue and also boasts a bigger battery than the Kobo Elipsa 2E.
I like the design, while paranoid users can slap on a Sleep Cover for £70 more. Considering the Elipsa 2E costs £350 UK to begin with however, that's quite the investment.
The Kobo Store is well stocked these days, including a decent selection of audio books. You can also join Kobo Plus if you want to download a huge number of titles for a small monthly fee.
That's my hands-on review with the Kobo Elipsa 2E, including how it stacks up vs the Kindle Scribe. Let me know your thoughts below!
