Device: Kobo Mini, Libra Colour & Elipsa; Kindle Paperwhite 3 & 4; iOS apps
New Kobo Elipsa ereader

Along time ago in this thread somebody wanted to know why people would buy an Elipsa. I have owned several Kobo eReader devices, as well as a Barnes & Noble nook and several Kindle devices. In fact, I own two Kindle paperwhite at the moment, one of which I have dedicated to be a Japanese eReader. I currently use a Kobo Clara HD. I also own an iPad or three, and have been reading e-books on them since 2010. The reasons I want an Elipsa are:

Size
Marking up documents
A faster processor
Form factor
I like shiny new things
Because it looks cool, and I want one

That last points may explain why my eyes sparkle at product announcements, but they weren’t enough to push me to buy a Forma. I’ve looked into using my iPad in the way the reMarkable and Elipsa can edit and markup text, and I did find an app that made it possible. It was an app called GoodNotes, and it cost $8. I even have an Apple Pencil to make the process easier. It’s great for signing PDFs, but marking up my book projects would require me converting them into PDFs. I feel Apple has missed the beat on this. Being able to markup everything should already be built into iOS.

I am curious to see if I can involve the Elipsa in my writing workflow, but I can’t comment on that yet. The Elipsa hasn’t arrived.

I think it’s wonderful how we have so many eReader options to choose from. I don’t feel compelled to own one of every kind, but I love seeing different people’s opinions on their favorite eReaders.

Question:
Does anybody know if owning an Elipsa or Forma enables dropbox support on other kobo devices the way owning a Kobo Aura One enabled Overdrive support on every Kobo device or app you used?
