Kobo's Elipsa 2E, a highly-regarded e-reader for note-taking, has dropped to its lowest price ever, making it an attractive option for those seeking an intuitive reading experience. The device is now available for $349.99, a $50 discount, at Amazon, Target, and Rakuten Kobo. Additionally, Kobo is offering $10 in credit when you purchase a $50 gift card, redeemable towards books or styli.
The Elipsa 2E stands out from its competitors, including Amazon's recently released Kindle Scribe, due to its seamless note-taking capabilities. Users can directly write on ebook pages, taking notes in margins or anywhere else, just as they would on paper. In contrast, the Kindle Scribe's note-taking feature is more complicated and lacks the ability to circle phrases or words. The Elipsa 2E also boasts double the storage (32GB) of the entry-level Kindle Scribe and accurately converts handwriting into typed text faster than its rival.
One drawback of the Elipsa 2E is its lack of native support for Kindle ebooks, requiring users to convert their library if they want to read them on their Kobo device. However, for those seeking a more natural note-taking experience, the Elipsa 2E remains a top choice.
In addition to the Elipsa 2E deal, several other tech products have seen significant price drops. Sony's WH-CH720N noise-canceling headphones are now available for $74.99, a $75 discount, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. While their noise cancellation may not be as effective as rivals like Sony's WH-1000XM5, they offer good sound, multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, and up to 35 hours of continuous playback, making them a great budget option.
For those in need of speedy charging solutions, Anker's PowerPort III and eco-friendly 30-watt Anker 511 Charger are available bundled together for $24.99, a $29.99 discount, at Best Buy. The 30-watt Anker 511 Charger is a compact, portable option, while the PowerPort III is a 65-watt wall charger capable of quickly powering up to three devices at once.
Lastly, the Blink Outdoor 4 camera is on sale for $49.99, a $50 discount, at Amazon, including a Sync Module 2. This 1080p security camera offers improved image quality, two-zone package detection, and an impressive two years of battery life. With the included Sync Module 2, users can record motion-activated video locally (with a USB stick) for free, eliminating the need for a premium subscription.
