For example, I receive an email notification on my phone that a book I've had on hold for weeks or months has finally become available. I can use the Overdrive app on my phone to check it out, then sync my Kobo reader to get a copy. But I can't choose to get an epub vs a kepub.
It's not as convenient as the Kobo's method, but Tolinos still work like the Sonys used to work for downloading Overdrive books (by using the web browser to download the book and the built-in ADE to open it).

If you want another option, GoodyStore is selling Tolino Shine 2 HDs (used) for $30 (they would probably accept a $25 offer). These are front-lit, 300 dpi readers. I've dealt with GoodyStore several times and have always been happy with the accuracy of their product description and the speed of their shipping.
