I bought a Kobo Elipsa 2E last week, April 15. After three days, the Amazon delivery guy handed over the box to me.

I have Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Touch, and Kobo, Kobo mini, Kindle 3, etc. The earliest one was 2010. The biggest is 6 inches. It is not big enough for a PDF file. I like reading books.
I opened the box and took out the eReader pad. See inside.
There is one Reader, a Pen, a USB Type-C data cable, a “Quick Start Guide”, and two Tips.
OK, I charged the device and do the first boot.
The Stylus 2 pen is so good to use.
Kobo provides a membership called Kobo plus. I don’t need it, so just ignore it.
Then I started to use it. The most important thing for eReader is to use it. Not like someone else to use it as a cover when preparing their instant noodles.
I compare my Kindle Paperwhite with the Kobo Elipsa 2E side by side. I like the size of the Kobo device. I can have my book with larger fonts. Good for my aging vision.
I need more time using it.
