Kobo Elipsa provides intuitive note-taking experience and an expansive 10.3” touchscreen. Use the Kobo Stylus to make notes in eBooks and PDFs. Plus, you can create your own notebooks, where you can instantly convert your notes to clean typed text, and export them off your device as needed. When you want to listen to a story, enjoy Kobo Audiobooks with Bluetooth wireless technology. And when you're ready for a break, simply close the SleepCover to protect Kobo Elipsa and put it to sleep. Kobo Elipsa is your book, notebook, and bookstore combined, bundled with everything you need to make your ideas a reality.

Kobo Sage is the most accomplished eReader ever. Designed to inspire you with every read, Kobo Sage delivers every feature Kobo offers in one sleek package, plus Bluetooth so you can listen to Kobo Audiobooks. The luxurious 8" HD flush E Ink Carta 1200 touchscreen delivers superior performance and depth of contrast, with zero glare.
Both Kobo Elipsa and Kobo Sage are, in essence, highly advanced devices designed to help you read things on screens that look almost exactly like paper, without the hassle of actually turning pages. They both come equipped with the revolutionary "ComfortLight PRO," which allows you to read in the dark without making your eyes feel like they’re being dragged through a sandstorm. They also support a delightful range of eBook formats, including EPUB and PDF, which means you can read all the books you’ve accumulated over the years without worrying about compatibility. You’ll find Wi-Fi in both models, which is helpful for downloading books directly from the ether. And, if you didn’t know, both are designed by Kobo, a Canadian company known for its slightly mysterious way of making things that are very, very good at reading.
Now, if you’re considering Kobo Elipsa, prepare yourself for an experience that’s more akin to wielding an entire library while simultaneously trying to become a productivity guru. With a sprawling 10.3-inch screen, it’s practically a notebook with a side of digital reading. It even comes with a stylus—because why just read when you can also scrawl furiously across your digital pages? It’s heavier, yes, but that’s only because it’s built for the serious business of reading and note-taking. If you’re someone who likes to scribble notes or get lost in books for hours, this might be your dream device. Target users are likely the academic, the studious and perhaps those who believe they should have a personal assistant to handle their book collection.
In contrast, Kobo Sage is more like a well-behaved, portable little cousin, only smaller, lighter and with a certain elegance about it. At 8 inches, it’s perfect for anyone who finds themselves in constant motion—whether you’re waiting for your coffee, a train or the next big idea to strike. It's lighter too, making it ideal for reading while pretending not to listen to the person next to you on the bus. And while the stylus is sold separately, the waterproof design means you can read in the bath without worrying about life-threatening accidents. The Sage is made for readers who want the experience without the bulk and those who prefer to keep their reading devices free from the burden of unnecessary weight and unnecessary features. It’s a portable oasis in a world full of hardcovers.
