Kobo Elipsa: The eReader That Lets You Read and Write

For digital book lovers who also enjoy writing, annotating, or studying, the Kobo Elipsa brings something fresh to the eReader market. Combining the clarity of E Ink with the flexibility of handwritten notes, this 10.3-inch device redefines what an eBook reader can be.

Big Screen, Big Possibilities

The Kobo Elipsa features a 10.3-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display, making it ideal for reading PDFs, comics, or heavily formatted texts. With a resolution of 1404 × 1872 and ComfortLight adjustable front lighting, it provides an excellent reading experience in both bright and low-light environments.

What this means for you:
If you’ve ever struggled with small fonts or clunky PDF zooming on regular eReaders, the Elipsa gives you space to breathe and read.

Write, Annotate, Create

What truly sets the Elipsa apart is the included Kobo Stylus. With it, you can:

  • Write directly on PDFs
  • Highlight and annotate eBooks
  • Create notebooks with handwritten notes
  • Convert handwriting to text (yes, really)

Here’s why it matters:
Whether you’re a student, editor, or just a thoughtful reader, the Elipsa becomes a digital notebook and library in one.

File Management Made Easy

Thanks to Dropbox integration, transferring files is smooth and cloud-friendly. The device supports a wide range of formats, EPUB, PDF, MOBI, CBZ/CBR, TXT, and more so you won’t have to worry about conversions.

In practical terms:
You can sync your documents, review manuscripts, and keep your digital workspace tidy all from one screen.


Final Thoughts: For Readers Who Do More Than Read

The Kobo Elipsa isn’t for everyone. It’s larger, a bit heavier, and more expensive than entry-level models. But for serious digital readers, writers, and professionals who want more from their eReader, it’s an outstanding investment.

At 20Publishing, we think it’s the ideal tool for anyone who blends reading with reflection — and wants their notes as portable as their books.
