I wish it did what it should be able to and I would love it.

• Lots of possibilities
• Seemingly great hardware
• Terrible software that doesn't work half the time for example the pen stops functioning at random intervals rendering the device useless.

Grandiose

• I can enlarge the letters quite large because I'm visually impaired that's a convenience for me I'm glad I read a book again.

I wish it did what it should be able to and I would love it.

• Lots of possibilities
• Seemingly great hardware
• Potentially perfect academic paper annotation
• Terrible software that doesn't work half the time for example the pen stops functioning at random intervals rendering the device useless.

Basically if the device did what it should do it would be perfect. Sadly it randomly stops recognizing the pen in all modes. I will be returning it for a different product. I wish it would just work as it should.

Recommended for those who want to take notes in their texts

• nice design
• Does what it should do
• Finally annotate texts without a PC
• Too heavy to read for leisure

I have to read a lot of PDFs and want to be able to annotate them; behind a PC that is not really fun, and printing everything is certainly not an option because most texts serve as source material and will therefore only be read once. Now I can comfortably read on the Elipsa (just make sure I can put it down, because it's too heavy to hold with one hand), take notes, and then easily process everything via Dropbox on my PC. Bonus: I can also read my articles saved in Pocket here.

Excellent reader for PDFs for my study and as a bonus handy as a notebook instead of paper to take minutes,
