1/3 of Tolino is owned by Thalia alone. To be honest, I think that Thalia is playing the long game where they either buy smaller Tolino partner or just wait them out. |

By the way, Thalia really did take over all of Weltbild ebook operations and as far as I understand they’ll migrate all Weltbild accounts.

I just registered to share a thought I had. I may overlook something or I'm plain dumb, but please bear with me.
My Tolino Shine 4 just died and I was looking into a replacement, which might be the Clara BW or the Shine 5. So... Since it looks like firmwares unify to some extent and I recall reading that older devices might follow, could the Shine 4 become a better performer than the aforementioned two? Assuming it DOES get the same firmware base, it does have: - a 1.8 GHz quad core processor - 1 GB of RAM ...which on paper is superior to the Shine 5/Clara BW oddly enough. (Of course the updates are late if at all coming, and there's Carta 1300 on the newer models, but still.) Am I mistaken? Of course this would only apply IF it ends up on the same base. (Since my Shine 4 is still under warranty, I could get it replaced by another Shine 4 or pay just a couple of Euros to "upgrade", so I'm wondering if there's any merit to stay with the Shine 4 or I am grasping at straws.) |

Both based on the Kobo Linux Firmware. But the Clara on 4.40XX and the shine 5 on 5.2XXX (on factory 4.39 ) . The 5.0.175773 the Shine 5 can be switched between Kobo and Tolino. If and When Kobo gets the 5.x Firmware is unclear and if its the same 5.x like on the Tolino ist unclear too. I dont see a clear difference on a tolino with Kobo firmware to a kobo direct Last edited by Laen; Today at 04:22 AM. |

The Shine 5 is 15-20% cheaper here, but I'm still contemplating getting a Clara to be safe firmware-wise. I can't imagine Kobo would be okay with people buying the cheaper reader and just needing to flip the brand switch (assuming a market where both are offered). And it's a potential prevention mechanism that I'm afraid of (if it's not already there; I recall reading posts about missing this switch already[?]). Regarding my Shine 4 off-topic: I don't really think this gets some of the unified base. It's probably cheaper to deliver some security patches to Android than to fit a new system to it. If it did, however, it could become a better performer than its siblings. There are more arguments to be made, but I'm already no longer on topic. Maybe some research and a separate thread in the Tolino section worth. |

But the problem ist that on 5.2.190625 and 5.1.186250 you cant access the needed Development menü. I think they block it with reasons. But you can downgrade the firmware to the correct on. But some people prefer the android version over the Kobo. but i prefer the kobo firmware |
