Here's the official press release: https://prod-news.kobo.com/news/take...in-one-ereader
I think for a note taker and something to read manga on without panning or squinting, it's a good option. It's no Sony Digital Paper, but 383 grams is pretty light for a 10.3" e-ink device (lighter than RM2 and the 10.3" Android devices, excluding the 378g BOOX Note2 with Mobius screen).

I'm intrigued. I use a RM2 for note taking and it isn't BAD by any means. But I could see the benefit of morphing together my ereader and a note-taking device instead of having two. I also like the backlight.
But I love the Comfortlight Pro functionality! And I'd miss that greatly. And I do like reading while taking a bath. So perhaps I'll skip out on this. But I will say - I like the bold step. Unsure if any of us thought that this would be, really, a big focus on note taking. Pretty cool. |

I wonder what happens to the notes (position,size, etc.) when you change the font size in a book?
I would be very tempted by this if it was 300 dpi, but I’m not willing to go below that as I know I would get obsessed with comparing the quality and be dissatisfied. I understand their decision though, I guess, as the lower res screen allows them to keep the price relatively low. Glad for JSWolf that they have made the cover COMPULSORY. ![]() |

I also like the bold move, I hope it is a success! I’m still tempted by it, I used to have a DX and really enjoyed reading on the big screen. ETA: I still do have a DX, but I haven’t found it since we moved house almost five years ago. ![]() |

I'll probably get this one, ticks all but one of my checkboxes (no SD card slot
![]() - Price is competitive (cheaper than the Note Air, more expensive than the lesser P10) - Kobo & Calibre are old friends, support will probably be excellent - Kobo's firmware tends to be very solid and long lived in support If it works as intended I'll keep it., if not, I'll return it within the 30 days window & go for the Onyx. |

On Boox's stuff they make an attempt to keep your notes in the same place when you change the font size. Doesn't always do a good job so it will be interesting to see how Kobo does. |

It's almost like it's a 'test the water' device.
No masses of new features, but one or two. Trying usb-c, the note taking etc. Kobo while a firm I'm undecided on are not shy about updating firmware and features. If the sales are respectable I'm guessing this could be a really nice device after future updates. |

So, that is what you can do with the 2 buttons, erase and highlight. |

Am I correct in assuming the Carta 1200 is recessed and not flush?

That's different. The Forma is not designed to know the difference between a stylus and your finger. If you used your stylus on the Elipsa, it might work to change the page as it's not going to be recognized by the Elipsa as a stylus.
