Elipsa 2E If you have one, is it worth the price tag?

sydmalicious · Yesterday, 11:27 PM

I honestly scoff at the fact the whole package is $350. The Scribe is < $100 than the Elipsa 2E. I really want to keep it Kobo and I do write marginalia in most of my technical books so having something like this would be a boon to me. However... $350?

Have you found it worth the price?

It really depends on your use case. The writing experience on the Scribe is far superior, but you're trapped in Amazon's walled garden. There have been multiple threads lately about how to use a Scribe that isn't registered, since Amazon deliberately cripples devices that don't talk to the mothership.

Your profile says you have the Sage, so if you find writing on that to be tolerable, you'll probably like the Elipsa, as you get the Kobo software in a bigger form factor.
