I like the ability to directly borrow ePub books from my library (Overdrive) using my Tolino Page. For me the interface has been clean and simple and responsive, and I've been able to add a Latin dictionary for translating (something I've wanted to do on the Kindles for awhile). Some of its features (like adding custom fonts) is buggy. I finally managed to get all of Constantia to install (after the 11.2.3 update) but Deja Serif still won't install its regular font (bold, italic and bold italic install fine, but pretty much useless without the main font). I've never tried rooting, but I know KoReader is (or was) supported on the Tolinos. (Seems like there was some issue on the new firmware with the refresh mode or something, that had to be worked around – or maybe I'm thinking of a different device. Since I don't read PDFs I've never had much interest in KoReader.)
(Sorry to ramble. I like my Tolino Page, but I just use it as it came "out of box.")
