Kobo Elipsa: suitability for academic library ebooks?
I'm looking for an eink reader for ebooks from my university library. I'm considering the Kobo Elipsa, and would welcome your thoughts.
Background is:
- I need the reader to be able to handle Adobe DRM (via ADE is fine).
- The screen needs to be large enough to handle PDF ebooks (not epub).
- I'm not terribly concerned about markup tools.
I had an Onyx Boox Note (1st gen) but the battery died after less than two years, so I'm reluctant to buy again. I also found DRM books difficult to read on the Note since it couldn't be authorised with ADE (sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't; sometimes I needed to use an app.
So, I would welcome your thoughts on:
1. How well does the Elipsa handle Adobe DRM / ADE?
2. What is the reading experience like with PDFs? (I'm aware of the inability to crop margins, etc. Have you found this an issue in real life?)
Thank you for your help.
