What's good
- Stylus support
- Documents and books look great
- Good handwriting recognition
What's bad
- Heavy
- No amber lighting
- Writing is restricted
Verdict
While it's definitely an e-reader first and a digital notepad second, the Kobo Elipsa does quite well for Kobo's first foray into active stylus support. It's a big e-reader though, so we don't recommend it for on-the-go use or bedside reading.

What's bad
- Poor battery life

The biggest thing the Kobo Sage has going for itself is the ability to write on it and the stylus support. Those elements work and are innovative, but the battery life just lets the rest down.
