I have decided to keep my Elipsa as an e-reader only and never ever update it right after the update is released. Way better than lose money selling it.
Every new firmware is the same: lots of bugs, lots of us debugging, trying and fiddling with the device, which is something Kobo should have done before releasing a firmware to the public. We are not beta testers, at least I am not and I didn't sign to that. I do software development for living and honestly the last thing I wanna do after 8 to 10h working is to have to debug my e-reader.
Sideloading everything again is painless, but losing annotations and specially notebooks, it is unacceptable. I've lost 2h of studying after updating to the new firmware.
My takeaways since I got my Elipsa are:
- Notetaking is an extra feature and it is not something interesting for the main Kobo customer
- Updates are unreliable and break things that are not documented in the update log
- Never update right away
Sorry for my rant.
