It has a built-in magnet to attach to the side of the eReader, but I couldn’t fully trust how much it would rigidly stick to it. It’s nice to not have to slide in an actual battery, though it can take up to an hour to fully recharge this one after it’s dead. A single button also returns to highlight text. The tip is different, and it features a stub at the other end to emulate an eraser. The newer Stylus 2 is thinner, lighter and runs on a rechargeable battery instead of the single AAA battery the original required. This is probably the biggest difference between the two Elipsa models. You won’t be reading with this in the tub or the pool, and you’ll want to be careful you don’t splash a drink over it. Unfortunately, this eReader also retains the lack of water resistance. Those documents don’t generally benefit from the same controls, so there were times when switching to a landscape orientation made a big difference.

It’s big enough to read just about anything, and like the original, I found the Elipsa 2E very useful for reading PDFs and other documents because of the extra screen real estate. Part of the reason for that is because Kobo used a textured back this time that’s much easier to handle-not dissimilar to other Kobo eReaders from the past. And in keeping with the eco theme, Kobo says it’s made from 95% recycled materials. You have to buy it separately, but if you do, it functions as more of a folio covering the front. The previous Elipsa came bundled with a SleepCover case that wrapped around the sides and back, whereas no SleepCover comes with this one. The USB-C port and power button are also situated in the same spots, though one big difference is in the rear. The Elipsa 2E basically shares the exact same dimensions and 10.3-inch E Ink Carta display as its predecessor. The Clara 2E started this trend, and now that it’s also here, it may be one reason why the overall design doesn’t change all that much. Kobo continues to take an eco-friendly approach by using 85% recycled materials for the device’s casing-up to 10% of which was derived from ocean-bound plastic.
