I own a Tolino vision 4HS and a Kobo libra both. Believe it or not, even with the screen zize difference reading comics is BETTER on the tolino 6'' screen rather than on kobo libra 6.7'' screen because of contrast. It's lilke the ink was extremely different and much more defined.

Whereas I have several Kobo eInk readers to compare to my Tolino Epos. As near as I can tell comparing the Aura One and Epos side by side, I see very little difference in the contrast and/or gamma of the screens. Other than the minimal size increase for the Forma (8" compared to 7.8"), it too is very close to the Aura One and Epos in contrast. Otherwise, I find Kobo's firmware to be much more flexible than Tolino's even just considering basics such as font size, margins, line spacing, displaying by author, title, series, creating collections etc.
All the eInk screens come out of the same source and most are purchased with the lighting and touch layers factory installed so I find it hard to accept that a Tolino ereader is going to have much better contrast than a Kobo (or Kindle, Pocketbook, etc.).

On the libra, there are TONS of too red or too blue settings, and in the end I stop setting my light between two options only: too blue or too red.

An interesting claim. On my Kobo ereaders, I find that there is quite a wide gap between too warm and too cold when using the display colour slider. I prefer the Forma's range to the Epos's range but that is probably due to the colour of the LEDs being used.
