This is inflammable, so be super cautious and don't bend/break/puncture/short the battery.
I thought of that too when I saw just how much the battery was bending. Only I couldn't find any around the house. I did have a fire can handy just incase though.

Exactly.

Below is an example of how easy it would be to hold a normal-sized ebook reader with one hand. Or even someone's throat.

One must wonder how he is able to use a touch screen with those fingernails...

With a stylus between his teeth, I guess.

Perhaps they're fingers.

I just saw a (new?) Tolino Shine IRL in a Thalia bookstore.
It's 6" Carta 1300, so it got my attention.
I didn't check out all the fonts, but I didn't like the ones that I saw.
The backside is dimpled but despite that very slippery.
There are no buttons and it was selling for 119 €
In one sense, running on 512 MB RAM is laudable.
In another....?
It has 16 GB for flash.

Interesting. Aren’t Tolino e-readers closely related to Kobo? From what I understand, Kobo took over the technology and software development for Tolino some years ago. The Tolino Shine, at least from the outside, looks similar to the Kobo Clara BW.

The more recent ones are the same or very similar HW, but with different firmware.
