![]() This will set you back $399.99 / £349.99 / AU$599.95, which is quite competitive considering you’re getting the accessories as well. However, the brand has taken a different approach with the Kobo Elipsa, selling it as a bundle, including the sleepcover and the stylus with the tablet, in a package called the Elipsa Pack. ![]() ![]() Usually Kobo ereaders ship as a standalone device and you can then buy accessories like sleepcovers separately. (Image credit: TechRadar) Kobo Elipsa: price and availability For a company that has a reputation for not locking down its ecosystem, it does feel as though Kobo is taking a step in that direction by allowing you to write only on locked ebooks. However, you can write and draw on sideloaded PDFs. Stylus support is locked to ebooks you buy directly from the Kobo Store, meaning you can’t annotate a sideloaded EPUB. However, there are some caveats that make the Elipsa hard to recommend. For the most part, the Elipsa does exactly what it says on the tin – it lets you read, make annotations, draw, create lists, buy ebooks, borrow ebooks from a public library and read web articles via Pocket. The Kobo Stylus, while not quite real-time responsive, is fast enough to make writing an enjoyable experience, and the device’s ability to recognize handwriting to convert to text is remarkable. The Kobo Elipsa, however, is an ereader first – one that can multitask.
