In my case because I can buy books directly from stores like Feedbooks (even Kobo) without having to use install ADE in Wine on my Linux computer.

I would imagine because Tolino has a whole infrastructure built around the current software. They even use a non-Adobe DRM system (as well as ADE) for some libraries in Europe (something called LCP). So a Tolino is more versatile than a Kobo here.

Or the fact that the Tolino has superior software for certain purposes.

Kobo and Tolino software is quite a bit different. I'm not sure Tolinos will ever have Nickel. (I personally hope not.)
