I like the 8 inch display, and I found the battery life in both to be pretty good. I was initially a bit skeptical about battery life, since these devices are rather old, but was pleasantly surprised. I think the device with the real battery problem is the Epos 3 / Kobo Sage.
I stayed pretty much within Koreader, and didn't spend much time testing the Tolino reader side of things.
Installing Koreader is not difficult, and I have not encountered any real problems. Basically, you want to activate developer options, and then install through adb: an eInk-friendly launcher, an app like ButtonSavior that allows you to navigate between apps, and koreader, the non-64 Android version.
You activate developer options by entering a specific sequence of characters in the search box. This depends on the firmware version. I think the one for the 16.x firmwares is: 112358132fb

've seen some guides around and they mentioned Epos 3 and 1, but never 2. Thank you so much for your feedback!
