It would be fine for me to use a different service to send articles to my ebook reader; it would be nice to just press a button on Firefox have the page on the ereader, without having to connect cables or do additional steps.

I do know the latest Tolino software manual has a Rakuten Kobo copyright and it says that the Tolino device is designed and developed by Rakuten Kobo.

In Italy we have both Kobo (sold by Feltrinelli, Mondadori and some shops) and Tolino (sold by IBS/Libraccio), but Kobo is more popular and Tolino Epos is not available here (you can buy the German/Swiss version online).
I read that Tolino ereaders are a bit less robust than the Kobo ones and Kobo assistance/services have better reviews. It could be just because Italy is a marginal market for Tolino and they decide to focus on different countries, so they don't compete with Kobo as you said.
