Tolino has updated their whole lineup now
Shine 3 (still the Clara clone) — Vision 5, now a Libra clone — Epos2, now a Forma clone. And Page (looks like an Aura 2 clone but comes with 8GB instead of 4GB).

I'm always disconcerted when I see an ebook company - when giving us a reading experience on an ebook reader - shows text without ANY spaces between paragraphs IN ADDITION to showing no indentation whatsoever on those paragraphs.
But what the heigh-hoooo! That's just me, and maybe not youuuu! Last edited by Dr. Drib; 10-16-2019 at 08:34 AM. |

My biggest issue with the tolino firmware is the way it runs roughshod over css.
If you have a book with extra fonts for headings or initials, you have to stick to the body font the reader provides by default - try and change the body font, and all the extra fonts are changed to that as well. Same as text-alignment: If you change that, to justified, say, everything in the book will now be displayed justified, also what should be centered, right-aligned or left-aligned. Very annoying. |

Bullshit markups for rebranded Libra's and Forma's.

Not rebranded Kobos. Same hardware, but not the same firmware. You can actually buy a Tolino Shine 3 from Grooves.Land, shipped to U.S., for a little less than the Kobo Clara.

German announcements for the three new Tolinos (looks like they're just mostly rehashing the specs)...
Page 2 — https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/...-24252173.html Vision 5 — https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/...-24252635.html Epos 2 — https://www.computerbild.de/artikel/...-24256067.html (I have to use Google translate to understand these.) |

Hands on review and comparison (in German) of the Vision 5 and Epos 2 (includes video).

Unknown if tolino firmware can be installed on Kobo-branded hardware or if Kobo firmware can be installed on tolino-branded hardware. They're the same hardware but the IPL code may be different. |
