I never found it so, so when 9.7" DXG was on last "fire sale", I bought it. It was worse than the 6″ PaperWhite 3. Certainly every eInk I ever had was useless for multi-column PDFs. The reMarkable was such a pain that although same size/resolution as the Elipsa, it was soon given away.

The Sage was sometimes better than then the Elipsa. I took the KOReader off the Elipsa when Kobo added the per-document PDF crop.

Only now with the 3:2 Aspect 14.25" Nxtpaper 14 (Nxtpaper 3.0 screen) have I finally got something portable as good as the 4K screen on the workstation for PDFs. My 2002 1600x1200 laptop was better for A4 PDFs than all the subsequent so called HD laptops (all 1920 x 1080, so would only have been good in Portrait )

I've given away the Elipsa. The Sage now for epubs and annotation only by touch screen keyboard. Notes now either via Gboard on Nxtpaper 40 or Nebo on Nxtpaper 11.

I do have the smaller instruction manual PDFs for DSL camera, remote timer, specialist radios, Zoom recorder etc on the Sage, because they work on it.
