Forget the Amazon Kindle Scribe — I found a fantastic alternative

With a big screen, included stylus, and long battery life, the Kobo Elipsa 2E seemingly has everything it needs to become the king of the e-notebooks.

Bright and clear display In-book annotations Big list of supported files Google Drive and Dropbox integration Weeks of battery life

Kindle Scribe (2024) review

This is the best Kindle Scribe yet, but it still needs some work

Biggest Kindle you can buy ; Great reading experience ; Big display that's easy on the eyes ; Redesigned stylus feels comfy to use

Price bump hurts ; Not waterproof ; Taking notes still feels a bit awkward

The Kindle Scribe (2024) improves upon its predecessor, delivering a more comfortable writing and doodling experience thanks to an upgraded stylus, redesigned chassis, and new AI features. But the price is so high that it's basically as much as an iPad...
