My epos is running firmware 11.1.0. I believe there is in update be readied, but I don't know exactly when it will be released.

I didn't have the epos with me earlier when I replied. But, I can see the "Rakuten Kobo" in the about screen. I had looked at it before when I first got the device. I would guess that May 2017 would be about right for the change of credit in the ownership. But, from a discussion elsewhere, I don't believe that Kobo have completely taken this over yet. Starting to, but I'm pretty sure the development is in the same hands as before. Though they might be employed by Kobo now.

Looking at the firmware the epos is running, I don't see a similarity to the Kobo firmware. The look and feel is very different. Navigating around the device doesn't feel at all the same. To me, the similarities are in places that it would be hard to do something different. Overall, I do like the device, but I like the Kobo Aura ONE better. There are things I hope Kobo adopt from tolino, but there is a lot more I would want on the tolino.
