Kobos Elipsa 2E, an excellent e-reader for taking notes, is down to its best price
Amazon might have released a new Kindle Scribe earlier this month for $399.99, but after testing it, I still dont think it can compete with its rivals. If youre looking for a good e-reader with more useful note-taking capabilities, the Kobo Elipsa 2E is still one of my favorites, and its down to an all-time low of $349.99 ($50 off)atAmazonorTarget. Rakuten Kobo will also throw in $10 in credit when you buy a $50 gift card, which you can use toward buyingbooks or styli.RelatedIf youre the type of person who likes to scribble in margins while reading ebooks, youll likely prefer the Kobo Elipsa 2E. The Elipsa 2E lets you directly write on ebook pages, taking notes in margins or anywhere else youd like, just as you would on paper. The new Kindle Scribe lets you directly write on pages, too, but its a lot more complicated and you cant even circle phrases or words.The Elipsa 2E also offers other helpful features beyond just a more natural note-taking experience. It boasts double the storage (32GB) as the entry-level Kindle Scribe, for example, and accurately converts handwriting into typed text faster than the Scribe. The biggest drawback, of course, is that it doesnt natively support Kindle ebooks, so youll have to convert your library if you want to read them from your Kobo device. Just a few more dealsSonys WH-CH720N noise-canceling headphones are currently down to just $74.99 ($75 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is their all-time low price. Their noise cancellation isnt as effective as rivals like Sonys WH-1000XM5, but for the price, they do a decent job of tuning out noise. They also deliver good sound, support for multipoint Bluetooth connectivity,and up to 35 hours of continuous playback, rendering them a great option if youre on a budget.If youre in need of USB-C chargers, you can buy the Anker PowerPort III and the eco-friendly version of the 30-watt Anker 511 Charger bundled together for $24.99 ($29.99 off) from Best Buy. Both are USB-C chargers thatll quickly power up your phone, laptop, tablet, and electronics, but the 30-watt Anker 511 Charger is smaller and thus more portable with a single port. In contrast, Ankers PowerPort III is a 65-watt wall charger that lets you quickly juice up to three devices at once.If youre looking out for porch pirates, the Blink Outdoor 4 camera is on sale for $49.99 ($50 off) one of its better prices to date at Amazon with a Sync Module 2 included. Blinks 1080p security camera offers better image quality than its predecessor, two-zone package detection, and an impressive two years of battery life. You dont need a premium subscription to record motion events either, thanks to the included Sync Module 2, which lets you record motion-activated video locally (with a USB stick) for free.
