What's good
- Stylus support
- Bluetooth for audiobooks
- Responsive interface
- Bright screen with excellent contrast
What's bad
- Poor battery life
- Expensive
- Cannot export handwritten notes
Verdict
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.
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.

Combining one of the largest screens on a mainstream e-reader with a unique design, the Forma is an interesting alternative to Amazon’s e-readers -- as long as you’re not already tied too much to Amazon’s ecosystem.

- Audiobook support
- Bluetooth capable
- 32GB of storage
- Physical page turn buttons
- Many formats supported

Verdict
The eReader market doesn’t tend to compete as much as the smartphone market but there are still some good things happening and differences to be found between the various models. The Kobo Libra 2 is a great example of this with its audiobook support and wide range of support e-book formats.
