If by "less robust" they mean simpler (with fewer features and less customization) that's true. For me, since my eyes have issues with front-lit eInk screens, the Tolino Page is the only eReader I have with an E-Carta screen. Even though it has a lower resolution then most E-Carta screens (800x600), it's still noticeably "whiter" than the Pearl (and earlier) screens on my other readers. That and the fact I can download ePubs directly from the library makes me happy with it. One thing, however, that I don't like is that it's supposed to allow custom fonts but loading them almost never works. So, yes, there are definite compromises with the Tolino.
