Basically, if you transfer your PDF over USB, it wouldn't allow you to use certain note taking features. You had to email the PDF to yourself through Amazon's servers. I hope Kobo releases a new Elipsa. I waited for the new reMarkable, but it is full of subscription garbage.

I hadn't looked at the Elipsa before. It looks very much like the 1st gen Scribe, did Amazon simply buy that hardware?

All of the e-ink displays are made by the same company. That's why they're all so similar.
