Tolino was created for the German market and bought by Kobo / Rakuten.
It's not as available as Kobo in most of Europe.
In general, Android based ereaders are inferior to use to dedicated Linux based ereaders.
LCP is not common in Europe for book sales. Maybe in some other regions for book sales (India?). It's used by libraries in some European countries. Maybe Italy?
Libraries can change what app they use.
The App can upgrade and stop working on an eink Android (Bolinda Borrowbox on eink Android 8 stopped working due to a Chrome dependency, but still worked on a mucch older Android 8 regular Tablet and phone).
If you need an App, then use a tablet. Unfortunately with Nxtpaper there is no ereader aspect model less than 10″.
I think Tolino is currently a bad option compared to regular Kobo.
I bought an Android based eink for the Irish Libraries during Covid lockdown. The App no longer works AND the Irish libraries are changing to a different service provider.
