Unlike the Kindle, however, the Elipsa 2E doesn’t have uniform thickness all round – it tapers down from the big bezel towards a thinner edge that fits into the sleepcover designed specifically for this model.ĭespite the lackluster design, I like the textured rear panel of the Kobo, which offers good grip, and the power/sleep button on the side of the device is similarly textured, making it very tactile and easy to find without looking for it. That plastic body makes the Elipsa lighter than the Kindle Scribe (390g vs 433g) and, even with its sleepcover on, I found the Kobo a bit more comfortable to hold while reading in bed or on the couch compared to the Amazon counterpart. Look at both competitors side by side and you’ll find that the Kindle Scribe just oozes oomph with that metal body while the Elipsa 2E feels a little lackluster with its all-plastic chassis. Kobo isn’t alone in doing this – the Amazon Kindle Scribe’s body is 100% recycled aluminum and 48% recycled plastic. As mentioned earlier, the body of the Elipsa 2E is 85% recycled plastic, including some that would have ended up in our oceans. It’s to Kobo’s credit that the company is using as much recycled plastic to make its latest products as possible. Same screen tech as the original Elipsa.Tablet and sleepcase made using recycled plastic.
