I bought an Elipsa very enthusiastically in 2021 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/639445), but unfortunately I can't quite recommend it…

I received mine on Tuesday (I'm in Sydney). Camera is excellent (apart from the automatic beauty filter on the selfie cam), fantastic…

I also received the same, grr. Still going through with it, though!

I think it's ok, Mint Green is on the UK website?: https://www.mi.com/uk/xiaomi-11-lite-5g-ne/specs They released some additional colours…

Fixed (finally).

Not bad, 6GB version though.

Hi, the deal was apparently due to expire at 7pm today, but looks like they've extended it! I've updated the time.

Excellent price for the 8GB version. Pretty happy to be buying this after missing out on the Poco F3 5G deal. Full specs here:…

I also have had this bread knife for about a year -- excellent, 0 regrets purchase, seems really durable so far.

Bought this for $180 during lockdown, for use in a kitchen with limited bench space. Have a JX-Pro hand grinder + replaced the stock…

Ordered on 19/10. Undercover Roasters processed the order on 25/10 and it was picked up by Australia Post from Bendigo on 26/10. It's…

I've played this one... kind of like a puzzle version of Factorio. Surprisingly decent, worth giving it a go!

The Reinkstone R1 is great on paper, but I'll believe it once I see it. The company which is launching the device on kickstarter…

You can't load ePubs on Kindles natively (they need to be converted to mobi via Calibre, etc) + no dropbox integration. Good to know about…

Not sure what the old Kobos were like (I remember hating how slow/low-def eReaders used to be, so I never got one), but I think they are…

Yes you can -- not a locked down ecosystem like Kindle (which is why I would never consider a kindle).

The lumi def has some advantages, but that price tag tho... :'( I'll see how I go, the Elipsa isn't perfect (waterproofing + colour…

Yeah, definitely specialist devices, I'd only recommend them for niche uses (such as reading a hell of a lot of PDFs). I've been using a 2…

General consensus is that the note-taking on the Elipsa is significantly worse (although the handwriting -> text conversion is excellent).…

First post. I've had my eye on these for a while, and these seem to be all-time low prices for both devices. I've been looking for an…
