hi everyone,

i was wondering if anyone has had the chance to compare the Tolino Epos 7.8 with the new (due in December 2017) Icarus Illumina XL HD 7.8...and what their first impressions were.

as far as I understand (might be totally wrong), both run some version of Android. The main difference though (again, hopefully I got this right) that would make me go for the Illumina is its ability to connect to Google Play. The Tolino seems to lack this feature...

if this were the case, it would make it possible to legally read Amazon DRM-protected e-books on the Illumina via the Kindle app. This seems to be impossible on almost every single 7.8-inch reader out there (?).

what do you think? it'd also be great if anyone could share their experience with PDF files on either reader.

thanks!
