font size, contrast), view in two columes. With more functions on KOreader I mean: every corner you can configure to toggle (touch and hold seperately), scrolling on the left/right sides, scrolling with 2 fingers (so i.e. I might consider Scribe (If don't have Elipsa already) if Koreader can be installed on Scribe. But of course you can convert epub to amz file and send to Kindle as usual. Of course 300 ppi could have been better. So Elipsa fits my usage well: move away from Amazon, huge screen, books from library (overdrive) and PDF handling (using KOreader). I live in Germany and while you can buy book from Kobo store, you can also buy from other stores and they only offer in Epub or PDF. I read somewhere you can install Koreader on Kindle, but more hassle and does not always work with new software (I haven't tried that so don't know if it's true).Įlipsa comes with a cover and pen so you don't really have to buy anything else, but note is not the reason why I bought it and I have never used that function. Plus Elipsa itself can get connected to Dropbox for wireless transfering and I can borrow from library for the epub files. Then I read you can install KOreader, which opens the whole new door for me, including much more configurations and smoother PDF reader than I could expect. The function is limited on Elipsa and yes send to Kindle is a function that Kobo doesn't have. 227 ppi is worse than 300 ppi that's for sure and you can definitely see that, even worse because I always use the smallest font size, both on my 300ppi Oasis and phone, but Elipsa is still usable for me. At the time there was no Scribe so I chose Elipsa. I wanted to move away from Amazon, quit my Prime so I took a look around. I have Kindle Oasis (2016) and used to have 2017. Scribe has a better dpi (227 vs 300 dpi - not too serious?). Kobo cons: Kobo's stylus requires a battery, while Kindle's doesn't (not too serious). This is a big deal in case of UX: no extra clicks, and notes will be seen instantly. Kobo pros: Kobo allows you to write notes over the book page, without running sticky notes app or so on. I'm not interested in "ecosystems" and Amazon or Kobo native services. I don't use Amazon bookshop and don't want to use it. "Send to Kindle" Chrome extension experience is the same as in the case of Pocket (and Kobo has native Pocket support). Don't know is there such e-mail service in Kobo. I actively use the "Send to Kindle" function to send files via e-mail and Chrome extension (and I like it). Today, there are two main players in the field of e-books with a stylus: Kobo Elipsa and new Kindle Scribe.īut what should I choose? Has Kobo any significant benefits over Kindle? I wonder if the Kobo community could comment on that. Also, I'd like to make handwritten notes - that's why I'm thinking about buying something with a pen. I'm an experienced user of Kindle - I used to have a Paperwhite 2021, and now I'm using Kindle 10th gen (because my PW was broken).
