Kobo Elipsa SleepCover Review
Before posting the review for the Kobo Elipsa, I wanted to post a quick write-up of the official sleepcover that comes with the Elipsa. At first I really disliked the included cover because it’s so heavy and bulky, but after using it for a while it does have its uses. First off, I don’t like […]
