I'm a little leary of the stylus because I've had battery ones in the past that didn't work so well. But my current Dell laptop has one that I really like. In fact, looking at the close up picture of Kobo's stylus, it looks exactly the same except with a Dell logo instead of Kobo. Of course, that doesn't mean it is the same, but at least I know this type of stylus can work really well.
I like that the cover opens up and folds over the top instead of like a book. And that it has the pen holder. I could also see taking the cover off while leaving the back on to possibly make it less slippery to hold when just reading.
I've always liked the Kobo software. So the ereading side of things would be good and familiar.
The Onyx Boox Note Air is the only other option that I can see really compares. It definitely has some better features, but I think I'd be happy with the Elipsa. I don't know if the Note Air would be worth $80 more -- and I'd still need a cover.
