Well, there is also price and features. I've got a Kobo Elipsa, it was an impulse buy at a book store and I regret it because for just a little bit more you can get a Remarkable 2. The Remarkable is lighter, less bulky, faster, and has this fantastic warm backlight. The Elipsa felt like outdated, heavy tech from the start, isn't waterproof, and its notetaking functions are unusable (it's just too slow). The OS is rarely if ever updated.
Equivalent Kindles seem to be much cheaper cheaper, though, and with overall better features and maintenance. And the store is much larger. The downside is obviously that you make yourself dependent on a fairly evil company that destroys culture and the lives of many aspiring authors. But most people don't care about that.
- AshamedCaptain 4y ago> The Remarkable ... has this fantastic warm backlight It doesn't have a backlight at all!
- jonathanstrange 4y agoThen I must have confused it with some other brand. A colleague showed me a thin one one with light that can be regulated from cold to warm and had very fast notetaking functions.
- goosedragons 4y agoThe Remarkable 2 also isn't waterproof and also doesn't have a front light (warm or cold) at all. That's how they got it so thin. It's also awful at reading ePubs but I guess better at note taking. Kindles aren't much cheaper. Compare the Kindle Oasis to the Libra. All you really get is a metal case for an extra $100. And the stores are pretty similar in size with the exception of like self published books which IMO are worth stripping out of search...
