I gave in and ordered one with the PERKOPOLIS coupon for 10% off! Nathan at the-ebook-reader.com mentioned it and that was enough to get me off the fence.

There is some very interesting information in articles on Kobo's site about the Elipsa and its features in detail. It also answers some often-asked questions.

Elipsa firmware is out. The Elipsa device ID is 387, and it's a kobo8 device. The codename is europa. The hardware identifier is b300-ntx.

I've added it to my firmware page: https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

Oh, about the Bluetooth audio thing I suspected a while ago, I still believe they're going to release it at some point for the Elipsa. There's a lot more code related to that in the current release, and it looks like they'll be supporting EPUB3 media overlays at some point at the minimum.

I have been told there will not be any audio support. The Bluetooth can be used to connect a keyboard.

the TechRadar review
https://www.techradar.com/reviews/kobo-elipsa
"When used horizontally, an ebook divides into two pages on screen (resembling an open book) thanks to the space available, which might be preferable to some users."
I'm surprised, since I saw no mention of it elsewhere. Also I wonder whether it is an option or an obligation. Anyway, it makes sense since our eyes aren't best adapted for reading long lines.

Really? Are you sure about that?

I haven't seen any mention elsewhere about that but if so then that's great. I would much prefer keyboard support than audio support (audio support would potentially have a greater impact on the battery and a more responsive screen is preferable for audio (while playing and making quick time jumps via a button it doesn't really matter but when scrubbing it's preferable if the UI keeps up in real time.)

Keyboard support makes note taking much better since it gives you a good alternative to handwriting (depending on your own personal preferences of course) and can be good for long distraction-free writing sessions.

Yes, very sure.

I asked about the apparent audio support and was given a very firm no. But I was told Bluetooth would be used for pairing keyboards. I questioned that as I had not seen any reference to this before. I am not sure, but I don't I think that it is in the firmware that was on the few review devices, but it is in the firmware that has been discovered.

What about the two page view that anacreon spotted mentioned in the TechRadar review? And what formats?
