Kobo v kindle12/23/2023 ![]() ![]() The Kobo Elipsa costs $400 and comes with a sleep cover. Amazon seems to have fixed a lot of the problems people are shitting on Kindle for: Using the Libby app, its easy to push books from the library to a Kindle. Its resolution of 227 PPI is a little less than the Scribe's and though it does come with front LED lights, it lacks the warm light of the Scribe. If anyone reads this comment, I tried out the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, Kobo Clara 2E, and Kobo Libra. The included pen requires AAA batteries to work, but the Elipsa comes with 32GB of storage, handwriting conversion, and DropBox support. It even lets you mark up library books borrowed from OverDrive and will remember your markings if you later buy the book or take it out again from the library. The Elipsa is a 10.3-inch E Ink tablet and it works seamlessly with Kobo's own extensive library, allowing users to markup PDFs, and other Kobo books and ePubs. Also Kobo does price matching + 10 whereas Amazon forces consumers to accept the price with no questions allowed. In fact, the Kobo Elipsa may well be the Kindle Scribe's most direct rival. Kobo has books in an EPUB format whereas Kindle has a proprietary Amazon format which is difficult to extract eBook content. Kobo, which is owned by Rakuten, has long been nipping at Amazon's heels when it comes to its e-reader lineup. Of course, Amazon isn't the only company that has made a name for itself on e-readers. Unlike the Kindle Scribe, the Kobo Elipsa lets you write directly on Kobo books. It offers a ReMarkable 2 protection plan, along with unlimited cloud storage and the ability to add notes in your notebooks when you're on mobile and desktop devices. The Connect subscription itself still exists, but now costs $3 a month instead of $8. Those services used to be part of ReMarkable's Connect subscription, but are now included for free with every device. I have an older Kobo lying around that I used a couple years ago. But compared to Kindle I feel like Im compromising too much. If they were the only devices available Kobo would rule. It has 8GB of internal storage and now includes handwriting conversion and Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive integration. Cant just email a book from a different source to the Kobo. Users can write directly on the screen to mark up PDFs or unprotected, DRM-free ePubs. Like the Scribe, the ReMarkable 2 also comes with a pen that pairs automatically and does not need to be charged. This tablet's 10.3-inch 226 PPI display is not quite as sharp as the Scribe's, but the screen is ever-so-slightly larger. Sarah Lord/CNETĬurrently, the ReMarkable 2 is one of the most popular E Ink tablets available and one of the best for handwritten notes. ![]() The ReMarkable 2 is great for handwriting notes, but doesn't have a backlight. ![]()
