And laptop or Ipad can't do Android either.You're wrong - on Android there are reading/library apps that are far superior to any "built-in" one.
Interesting. I seem to have played with several Android apps using Bluestacks on my laptop.

As for being simple to install apps on a Tolino? That doesn't seem to match up with what I see in the Tolino forum.

As for the reading apps on Android? Sorry but I've tried quite a few of them and superior is not the word I would use. As in one that took digging 5 levels down before I found the setting that enabled respecting the ebook's CSS. Contrary to certain people's opinions, all of us do not want our ebooks to look like a newspaper page.

my readers with a very specific formatting: landscape format, two columns, Arial, left-justified, paragraph spacing, no first line indentation.
I tend to ask questions such as does the reading app allow use of mixed text on Japanese language pages with katakana, hiragana, kanji and romaji? Does it support furigana/ruby? Does it support mixed direction on the same page? Does it support fixed layout epub3 books? How well does it support accessibility? How much of the epub3 standard does it support? I have a fondness for the epub-testsuite for testing.
