Rakuten Kobo announces Kobo Elipsa 2E, a freshly upgraded digital reading and writing experience designed for readers who want to engage with their eBooks and expand on their ideas on something other than a piece of paper. It also comes bundled with the new and improved Kobo Stylus 2.
With a 10.3” glare-free E Ink touchscreen and ComfortLight PRO to reduce blue light and eyestrain, Kobo Elipsa 2E allows you to create and organize notebooks and seamlessly export them with integrated cloud services.
Enjoy having your entire library and all your notes with you wherever you go thanks to the 32GB of storage and weeks of battery life on a single charge.
Shift effortlessly from reading eBooks to listening to Kobo audiobooks with Bluetooth. The company said Kobo Elipsa 2E’s exterior is made from more than 85% recycled plastic, including 10% ocean-bound plastic.
The included Kobo Stylus 2 has been ergonomically redesigned and is rechargeable too. The Kobo Stylus 2 allows you to easily wipe away mistakes with the eraser on the back and highlight passages with the highlighter button.
When not in use, conveniently store the stylus on Kobo Elipsa 2E magnetically. Make highlights, underline, write in the margins and take comfort that you will always see your annotations, even if you change the font size or page layout, because of Kobo’s patented markup technology.
Readers can also get the eco-friendly Kobo Elipsa 2E SleepCover to protect the eReader. Made with 97% recycled plastic, including 10% ocean-bound plastic, the SleepCover is made from plastic that would otherwise become landfill and ocean waste.
The Kobo Elipsa 2E SleepCover, available in Black, saves battery life by putting your eReader to sleep when you close it and, with its magnetic design, easily snaps on to your eReader and stores your Kobo Stylus 2.
