Hmm, I just saw an add for the new kobo elipsa and was surprised that it actually covers more of what you seemed to want that I would have expected. 10.3" e-ink screen stylus to write your own notes and scribbles web browser support for pdf, mobi, epub files I guess the only thing missing is the screen mirroring. At least I don't see that mentioned as an option. I think they list the price at $499 canadian. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
