It is very similar to the Aura One. Now I understand where the 'new' home screen comes from, it is bringing Kobo in line with Tolino. The Books, Authors, Collections is also the same.
The brightness and colour temperature control is a combined 2 sliders thing and felt much more solid in operation. On page refresh, 'never' is the default setting.
Only thing I didn't like was it's a bit heavier and diesnt have the rubber back which I like.
In every other way, it feels more 'solid' and smooth - a step up from the Aura One.
That all sounds interesting and I hope someone does publish a good comparison between the two.

Whether ithas the same flexibility under the hood like the Kobo, I would need to buy it to findout! I wonder if someone like davidfor could beg a test device fromkobo, to see how far kobo utilities kepubs etc are or could be supported.
You mean you aren't going to buy one and send it to me

I actually had someone ask me if calibre supported the Tolino devices recently, so I had a look. It does, but it is pretty basic. It really just the basic USB MSD device with code to identify it. And I had a look around, and couldn't find much info on what was visible when the device was connected. Or at least, I couldn't see much I could read. Most of the links I found were to German pages.

As I replied to the person asking, if I had the device, I'd probably do something. I probably wouldn't be able to resist But, without one, it would be to hard. And that lack of self-control is one of the reasons I've been glad I've never stumbled on a cheap Sony ereader. Or a Kindle, though I might be able to resist that.
