Japanese telecommunications giant Rakuten has got several subsidiaries one of which is Rakuten Kobo, a a Canadian company that sells e-books, audiobooks, e-readers and tablet computers. The company has recently launched the Kobo Elipsa 2E, a new and improved version of their popular Kobo Elipsa e-ink tablet.

The Kobo Elipsa 2E features a 10.3-inch E Ink display that supports 16 shades of grey and has a new front-lit system, as well as adjustable color temperature. The display supports touch and pen input. This makes the device perfect for taking notes, sketching, or drawing. The tablet comes with a stylus that has been updated with new features, including USB Type-C charging, a built-in eraser, and a highlighter button. The stylus also magnetically attaches to the Kobo Elipsa 2E, making it easy to store and access.

The Kobo Elipsa 2E retains the same 32 GB of storage and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity as its predecessor, but its quad-core processor now runs at a 200 MHz higher boost clock. The tablet measures 192 x 227 x 7.5 mm and weighs 390 g, which is slightly heavier than the previous version’s weight of 383 g.

While the Kobo Elipsa 2E is an impressive device, it’s worth noting that the case is no longer included in the package. The case is available as an accessory and retails for US$70. Despite the absence of the case, the Kobo Elipsa 2E is a great device for avid readers, students, and creatives who are looking for a versatile and convenient way to read, take notes, and sketch on-the-go.
