That's pretty telling, but the Kobo Glo HD was made before Kobo bought Tolino, so that means that Tolino and Kobo must both be contracting out Longshine to build their readers. (Well, at least the Kobo Glo HD and Touch 2.0, anyhow.) Maybe Kobo broke away from Longshine and that's why the Glo HD and Touch 2.0 had such a short shelf life.

Longshine once sold their own reader, the Shinebook. It looks like it has the same kind of buttons as the Kobo WiFi.
