tolino Vision 6 from Thalia has Hugendubel as Shop!

Ordered the tolino Vision 6 from Thalia, as Thalia.de and ebook.de are my main German shops.
Yesterday I received it, earlier than it was promised on order-day (Nov 10th).
Slim case will be delivered later, maybe december.

Hardware is great, a little smaller than my other tolino, an Epos V1 and for me better to handle.

On turning it on, I was (badly) surprised: the first and main shop is not Thalia, as expected, but Hugendubel. Searching the package for a few minutes, I discovered nothing about that, that would have warned me.
Using the device and also installing the first update it found after connecting to WiFi would be severly limited without registering and logging into Hugendubel, so I did that. After that you can add your other shops. And then it is connected to an existing Cloud, you can download your already bought books.

Just to be sure, I did nothing wrong, the next day I wiped the device, reset it to factory settings, and started new. Not sure, wether all settings where gone (imho the page buttons where still switched like I wanted them), but it stayed on Hugendubel, nice touch though, after logging into Hugendubel, the added shops Thalia and ebook.de where still linked.

Why does this matter to me, which shop is the main/first?
You are permanently logged in, and you can buy and look into your whishlist and buy from there.
This is also possible with other shops from the webbrowser, but you have to login each and every time, and after a certain time or switching context, you have to login again. No saved credentials, no password etc. only bookmarks for the URL.

Might contact Helpdesk about this, major inconvenience, but then again, how often do you buy books directly on the device? Not sure, but it was nice to be able to.
Also, if it was an error, Thalia shot themselves in the foot, as maybe 2-5 books a year I might buy through the device, and will do so from Hugendubel.

Please other buyers from Germany and other vendors reply which shop was configured as first shop on your device.
If there is a way to change that (even rooting), I want to know.
