The only new software change is a lasso tool, making moving images and other art assets easy. All your notebooks are now synced and stored automatically in the Kobo Cloud, notes can be viewed on the Kobo website, and notebooks can be shared via email or downloaded to a PC or MAC. Kobo introduced several new software enhancements, such as Google Drive, which joins Dropbox as two cloud storage providers that users can access to store their digital collections. ![]() The Kobo Elipsa 1 does not have any of this. ![]() The recent case covers designed for the Elipsa 2 are made of 100% ocean plastics and come in many colours. Kobo uses around 80% recycled magnesium alloy inside the hardware, similar to the new Kindle Scribe. The retail packaging uses 100% recycled cardboard, and the ink on the box and user manuals is made of 100% vegan ink. Kobo wanted to increase the percentage of ocean plastics, but using more than they are employing is a fire hazard due to the lithium-ion battery generating heat. The Elipsa 2E uses 85% recycled ocean plastics, like those found on water bottles, old CDs, and DVDs. Kobo has continued with the trend of using environmentally friendly hardware and retail packaging. The front-lit display has been upgraded from a Comrtfortlight to Comfortlight Pro, providing better illumination for warm and cool colours. Instead, it is powered via USB-C it has a dedicated eraser on the top and is 25% lighter, making it easier to hold. There is a dramatic increase in specs with the new model and some essential software features. Some might wonder if it is worth the upgrade if you own the original model. The Kobo Elipsa came out in late 2019, and the Kobo ELipsa 2e just came out last week. ![]() The Kobo Elipsa first generation and the Kobo Elipsa 2e are the only large-screen e-notes in Kobos’s portfolio.
