elipsa

Elipsa is the name of a line of e‑ink tablet devices produced by Onyx Boox, a Chinese company known for its e-readers and note-taking tablets. The device is marketed as an e-note and reader, designed to combine document viewing with handwritten input for note-taking and annotation. It is positioned for students, professionals, and readers who want a single device for reading, writing, and organizing notes.

Typical features of Elipsa devices include a large E Ink display in the 10-inch class, a stylus with pressure sensitivity for writing and drawing, and an Android-based operating system that allows access to third-party apps. The devices support common document formats such as PDF and EPUB, and they offer options for organizing notes into notebooks, exporting documents, and syncing content through cloud services or local storage. The handwriting input and the ability to convert handwriting to text are highlighted as core capabilities.

In use, Elipsa aims to provide a portable, long-battery-life option for those who prefer handwriting over typing or who need to annotate dense documents on the go. Reception among reviewers has often noted the favorable writing experience and extended battery life afforded by E Ink, while also pointing to drawbacks such as a premium price and the slower, application-limited performance inherent to many e‑note devices.

Elipsa sits within a broader family of Onyx Boox devices that blends e-reading with note-taking functionality, reflecting a niche of dedicated note-taking e-readers and tablets in the digital publishing ecosystem.
