Large-screen E Ink writing tablets seem to be gaining popularity recently, with several ereader makers launching 10.3-inch models back to back in the last few years. While the Kobo Elipsa from 2021 wasn’t the first such device, it was from a mainstream manufacturer, giving it a leg up over its biggest competitor, Amazon. It was over a year later that the Amazon Kindle Scribe made an appearance, but the gap in the market propelled some of Onyx Boox’s devices – particularly the Note 2 series – and the reMarkable 2 to become favorites with users.
Kobo is again adding to the growing number of 10.3-inch notetaking ereaders with the launch of the Elipsa 2E. With the new model, the Japanese-Canadian ereader brand now has a total of three E Ink writing tablets in its catalog. However, Kobo is known for discontinuing older models a few months after the launch of an upgrade, which could leave the Elipsa 2E as the only large-screen option and the Kobo Sage as the more portable 8-inch ereader in the near future.
