Have a look to this link

and scroll it down until you find a focusing comparison between different fonts in different devices.
That's the Tolino superiority I am talking about.
It's nothing very obvious, but my eyes are very sensitive to this.
It's a good review. I think the Tolinos are superior also, but mostly because they are open and have Adobe ADE built in. They're also very nicely built. And I do think the fonts are rendered better on the Tolino than on the Kindle or Kobo. But I agree with others that the screen comparison pictures aren't really very convincing — mostly because the Tolino screen picture is taken from further away, so naturally the fonts will seem smoother.

My main reason for liking the Tolino is its openness. As summarized (in Google translate) from the review...

To go back to the beginning of the review, Vision 3 HD is a rival to Voyage, rather than Paperwhite 3. It has something more than this and the new Oasis (resistance to liquids, on / off button for light, tap2flip, weight) and something less in the ability to offer a software ecosystem and therefore to buy and manage books less filed, less beautiful, less efficient.

But there is: first and foremost because its goal is to be free from the constraints of a single library, of a single supplier, and then because to get to worry Amazon is a merit that justifies a lot. By construction and made practical if you play it with everyone: then you can prefer it for personal taste, for the desire to try, for the function that is here and there, or for the context in which you will use, to read.
