I haven't looked at the possibility to hack one for quite a long time, and most of resources seem to be in German, anyway ...
If hacking, jailbreaking, rooting and general tinkering is your thing, have a look at how hard it is to hack the model you want to buy.

Hi,
you can hack the recent tolinos too (all tolinos acutally), I have a tolino shine 3. you can find the instructions here; it takes about 15 minutes.

I changed some of the recommended apps from the guide;
Button Savior instead of onetoucher
simple eink launcher from here
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=320940
there is an eink launcher with a combined filemanager (fdroid)
f-droid as app store
for browsing naked browser is the best, the download function works fine, you just have to rename the downloaded file to *.apk
the can get the apk from the homepage

lighting browser (f-droid) has increase contrast setting, but i am not very convinced. Download does not work for me.
Videos do not work
koreader works fine after the last update, older version would not refresh pages. This update made me buy this device again, as I had one before it. Props the developers!
Moonreader works too, try to reducing animation and bling bling
Libera (fdroid) works also fine
does any one know any good epub reader for arabic? the rendering is fine (not in koreader) but the text alignment ist not, but is is only a mild inconvinience.
