Hi, Marek

The only important issue my Tolino Sine 5 lacks is the Cyrillic keyboard, and the kobopatch approach doesn't seem feasible as update files for Tolino (from what I've learned) include FS images and raw data files (e.g. I didn't manage to find files like libnickel.so.x). Do you know any other ways to access the filesystem on the Tolino? I could try to investigate the difference between internal files and maybe do some manual adjustments but without the stock fw it's too risky (e.g. even version number length is different).

Sometimes I switch to my smartphone with TTS when I can't read from the screen. Finding the place when I stopped is problematic, especially since one of the EPUB books I read doesn't show the chapters on device and UI is limited on page jump precision.

Currently I kinda sorta solved the problem with the Tolino Android app that can sync the progress between devices and does not have issues with search or chapter selection.

However, if there's a way to play with firmware without bricking my eReader, it would be nice to look for a proper solution.

P.S. Sideloading EPUBs via the app works too. However, I had to use calibre for the aforementioned ebook that showed only the cover image before convertion.
