Elipsa 2E initial reactions
New to kobo.
Purchased the new elipsa 2E for its advertised annotation capability on both pdf and epub. HOWEVER!
First use case tested (side loaded - via dropbox - pdf doc)
- PDF Doc has highlighted text from previous highlighting.
No existing highlights appear in Elipsa. Strangely, you can go to annotations summary view, and it lists pages where highlights exist, but does not show the actual highlights.
- Cannot “highlight” any text in pdf doc on elipsa. Can only add annotations to a pdf doc.
The annotations so created do sync back to dropbox.
- Sideloaded pdf doc does not sync to kobo app. Only available on elipsa.
Not being able to import existing highlights and not able to highlight pdf seems like a major limitation.
Not sure if the same applies to sideloaded epubs.
One last note, the pdf text is rendered very feint, almost grey and hard to read. The same doc shows up fine on eg my ipad.
Not impressed so far :-(
