It's unfortunate the Overdrive implementation by Kobo has multiple restrictions, I guess its to avoid adding ADE in their ereader which was what the Sony devices had.

The Tolinos work like the Sony T1 did (and the T2 and T3 still do) for books borrowed from Overdrive. You can still download books via the browser, and the Tolino device (itself) will "certify" (whatever it's called) and open the book since it has ADE built-in. And the Tolino Shine 3 is just another Kobo Clara HD (well the hardware is, software is obviously Tolino). (Logging in to Overdrive via the Tolino browser takes patience, however.)
