I was incredibly underwhelmed by the Elipsa and returned it when it came out. Expecting it to have improved over the past year, I ordered the 8” version (which I forget the name of now), but it was equally as underwhelming and I returned it as well.

I ended up getting a Remarkable 2, and while I think the subscription model is… ehh, I’m not bound by it, and haven’t run into any scenarios where I actually need it. From a hardware perspective it has worked significantly better than the Elipsa did.

I don’t mean to take the wind out of your sails, just giving my anecdotal experience.

Thanks, the shift to subscriptions made me skip the remarkable 2. I just need a simple large ereader to read arxiv papers at the park or the beach because the ipad doesn't cut it in the sun. I'm hoping the kobo will do.

I also saw that a new software update made the elipse much more responsive and from a detailed review that i saw it has one of the better eink displays (high refresh rate and no banding)

How is the backlight? Is it even? I had trouble with other Kobos for terribly uneven backlight

What is the coupon? Its $349 right now for me
