The library offers both grid and cover views using three main heads :
Title , Author and Collections.
Various sorting options within each main head.
Collections is a bit odd as in addition to the auto-created "Finished" one and any you care to set up and assign books to it seems to set up some based on Authors (not all authors get a collection and some with only one book do so I'm not sure just how this is working)
The reader is straightforward, a bit like a cut-down version of Kobo; it allows additional fonts to be loaded and apparently must use Adobe RMSDK as it can handle Adobe DRM protected books. Pinch to change font size as well as the menu option.
Very satisfied with what was a cheap device (under GBP40 from Aliexpress). I have another Android based reader (Energy Systems eReader) that cost over twice the price and the two in-built readers there are somewhat below par.
I first thought it had Kobo origins when it started up and displayed the moving squares.
Unless you are in Germany, Switzerland or Austria and have registered it with one of the Tolino partner booksellers then half the home page is wasted and it just shows the last three books you have been reading.
I found how to put an English dictionary on it (there is a post somewhere on MR that deals with it - copying over the Kobo one doesn't work) and it works but the Quickdic dictionary is not what you would consider concise with some words getting into the double figures for pages of information.
