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. |
You can access the rootfs over ssh (I think I shared a way to enable it somewhere?) you can do Basically anything with the rootfs as long as you don't touch the other partitions there should be no way to brick the device with the way it's setup, if it gets stuck there's a way to reflash the rootfs using some button combo, you can find it on Google.
