I like Tolinos a lot but there are pros and cons. Tolinos are Android based and they, apparently, can be rooted. I've never done it and have no interest doing it, so I'm no help to you there. If you live in the United States, support (or even a place to buy a Tolino) is pretty limited.
Pros.
- Nice, well designed readers with good screens
- Adobe ADM built-in — you can borrow from Overdrive directly, or buy from various bookstores directly (including Kobo)
- Add custom fonts (most readers allow this now)
- "Clean" interface
Cons
- "Sparse" interface, not as feature rich as Kobos and others (can't bold fonts, fewer font size, line space and margin settings)
- No native bookstore in the United States (though you can buy directly from various online bookstores because Adobe ADM is built-in)
- No local dealers in the U.S.
For me the pros outweigh the cons.
