I apologize in advance as I am coming in at the end and I may be dense.
If you play by the rules, every non-Android e-reader is a walled garden. You buy Tolino books from Tolino, Kobo books from Kobo, Kindle books from Amazon and so on.
But it looks like everything you are purchasing (except possibly for your Kobo purchases) is being sideloaded to your Kobo Touch. In that case, I can't understand how your world would change if you bought a Tolino?
I don't buy any books from Kobo. I buy everything from Amazon, de-DRM and sideload via Calibre. This means I can buy any e-reader I choose, be it a Kobo, Kindle, Nook or even a Tolino.
Sorry. I just don't understand the issue you're having.
