It fixes most of the issues we had with the original Kobo Elipsa and its stylus.

Elipsa’s stylus, but I felt it had too much give as it would retract into the stylus under pressure to mimic the feeling of a writing instrument like a ballpoint pen. The Kindle Scribe’s stylus uses a similar approach, but offers a better feel and writing experience. For the Elipsa 2E, Kobo has gone a completely different route and included a stylus with a chunkier tip similar to the Apple Pencil’s design.

Laggy stylus response was my biggest complaint with the original Elipsa, and while software updates improved the performance, the Elipsa 2E, thanks to a faster processor under the hood, feels really good to write with. I don’t think the writing experience is as good as what the reMarkable 2 or the Kindle Scribe offer, but it’s very close, and improved enough to make the Elipsa 2E an e-note I definitely recommend.

Despite those complaints, I think Kobo has delivered a much improved e-note device, and the Elipsa 2E is really what we should have gotten back in 2021. The pen on paper experience is finally very good, and the tablet offers advanced features like handwriting to text conversion, a stylus with pressure sensitivity, and, as with Kobo’s higher-end e-readers, audiobook support with connectivity to Bluetooth headphones.
