Thanks

I'd considered buying a 2nd Elipsa for PDFs for wife as she doesn't like the 10" Lenovo tablet for that and was delighted with upgrade from Amazon Kindle PW3 to Kobo Libra (original), but the local CEX had a cheap enough original reMarkable.

Oddly the reMarkable 2 while a bit faster is heavier (glass & alloy vs plastic), has no page turn or home buttons and a slippier surface if you did want notes. The note taking is more like a sketching app as it has layers and zero local conversion to text. Also both models only have about 6G of Flash free. The 32 Gbyte Elipsa with onboard Nebo for handwriting, USB-Mass-Storage (very fast), and decent meta-library origanisation seriously beats Remarkable (File manager view only) for reading or writing.

But if you have less than 100 scanned old book PDFs and already have a 6" to 8" ereader, then a bargain S/H reMarkable (original, not V2) isn't a bad option.
