I hope I am not too late, but there are two distinct features on the Tolino Epos 2 the Kobo Forma doesn't have.
- It ask you for permission to rotate the screen, meaning when the device would like to turn an icon pops up and you have to touch it before it rotates. Acutally I was/am quite keen on this.
- It comes with a 25 GB Tolino cloud and at least here in Germany with free wifi access to all the Telekoms hotspots in the country. That I love too, as I don't maintain a paid Dropbox cloud and 2 GB free storage aren't much to write home about.
I can't say much about the software though. It seems alright for me, there just aren't any patches for it, so this is where the Forma wins. For those who patch that is. I don't so this is useless for me.
I ordered a Forma right the day before the Tolino Epos 2 started selling. Normally I am very well informed about what goes on ereaderwise, but this I didn't see in time. Now I would love to get the Tolino instead of the Forma but it would be unfair to the vendor to send the used Forma (four days, but used nonetheless) back only to get a very similar Tolino. But had I realized there is a Tolino Epos 2, I would have bought it instead of the Forma.
There are videos on youtube about the Tolino, AFAIK the software is nice enough.
