![]() The Elipsa is perfect for those who like to make notes in the margin, while the 32GB of storage is good news if you read a lot of graphic novels or image-heavy texts. There’s also a useful built-in notebook feature where you can create lists and notebooks then export them to your computer via USB or Dropbox. The margins and spacing can be tweaked to accommodate your jottings. You can choose the pen type, shade and line size, or hold down one button to switch to highlighter and the other button to erase. The stylus works well, albeit with a very slight lag. However, there is a dark mode that offers white text on black. Brightness can be easily adjusted by swiping up and down the left edge of the screen, but unfortunately, there’s no option to tweak the warmth of the screen illumination. The 1404 x 1872 (or 227 ppi) screen is pleasingly sharp and the overall size makes it a good choice if you prefer a larger print size. ![]() The largest screen on a Kobo so far, the display is the first to feature E Ink Carta 1200 tech, which means a faster display, quicker page turns and deeper contrast. The slightly textured ‘Midnight Blue’ back gives it a premium look while the supplied SleepCover doubles as a stand that sits at an ideal angle for reading and writing at a desk. Packing a 10.3-inch glare-free touchscreen, the Elipsa is much bigger than most e-readers, and tipping the scales at 383g means that it’s not really suitable for one-handed use. And with IPX8-level waterproofing, you'll be safe reading it on the bath or by the pool as it can handle being dunked in fresh water up to 2m deep for up to 60 minutes.Īiming to bridge the gap between e-books and print, the Kobo Elipsa (£350) comes with the Kobo Stylus for marking up e-books and PDFs. The excellent ergonomic chassis remains, along with the physical page turn buttons, making this model perfect for comfy one-handed use. ![]() The 7-inch screen is still the biggest on a Kindle. Otherwise, the specs are largely the same as the previous Oasis. You can also adjust this manually, so you'll never have trouble seeing the uniformly lit screen, even in bright sunshine. ![]() An adaptive front light will also automatically adjust the screen brightness based on ambient light. To do this, you'll need to allow access to your location.Įven if the whole 'night mode' idea doesn't interest you, the ability to change the page tone to match that of a real-life papery book page, rather than a stark white screen, is a real treat. Alternatively, you can schedule the tone to change gradually with the sunset and sunrise. You can either adjust your screen permanently and/or set times in the morning and evening for the screen to fade to a warmer, more eye-friendly tone before bedtime and first thing in the morning. There are 24 notches on the scale so you can pick the perfect amount of screen warmth to suit your peepers and strip out the pesky blue light that can disrupt your sleep. It's a fantastic feature, and a first on the Kindle, allowing you to tweak the screen to warmer tones, ranging through from standard white to warm amber. But the big news on Amazon's latest luxury e-reader is the addition of adjustable screen colour temperature. Released last year, this slim and light e-reader is the third-generation Oasis and looks pretty much identical to its predecessor. The latest Kindle Oasis (£230) has managed to topple the Paperwhite from the top spot.
