Ok, water resistant then. And this one is not, for anyone concerned about moisture and spills. Which, since the Elipsa appears to be aimed at students and note-taking working folks (writers, researchers, etc.) is practically a necessity. Slosh Red Bull or whatever on it while pulling an all-nighter before the big exam and you can kiss your books, your notes and your $400 goodbye.

The difference between the Kobo Aura H2O and Kobo's other water resistant ereaders is that the Aura H2O was sealed complete with a rubber cover over the USB port/uSD card slot/reset button against water ingress. Kobo's later models and all the other water resistant ereaders I'm aware of have a nano-coating from HZO over the electronics to protect them from water. This coating does not protect the USB port and is rated for "clean water".

The El(l)ipsa looks fun. It definitely would be useful to me if its price ($399) didn't place it beyond my budget.
I do wish the Elipsa had ComfortLight Pro. Perhaps a sale in a few years' time will bring the device within my affordable range. Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 05-23-2021 at 12:20 PM. |

Any idea on how long a stylus tip lasts on the new Kobo?
And any idea of the cost of additional tips? Or when they will be available for purchase? |

How long nibs last depends on the material on the screen/possible screen protectors and what the nib itself is made of. So it's a bit hard to say. The Remarkable 2 ones are made of a softer plastic and from what I heard wear down in a month or two, the hard plastic ones in my Staedtler stylus don't seem worn down after 7 months of use. |
