Login in in the Kobo account works without problem.
What i found is to make a second Factory Reset after Switching because then the reader shows all full features under Kobo.

Adding Software? You mean like Nickelmenu or Koreader?
Thats the work of the Programmer to support newer Firmwares.

Sideload over calibre works without problems
Thanks for your response.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as I'm on 5.0.175773 I can switch to the Kobo version and it stays that way when I update, right? And it continues to get updates for Tolino?
Or would I have to get the Kobo updates?
I know I would have to downgrade every time I would want to switch.


Yeah, I meant something like KOReader. I utilized it already on my Shine 4 (it was the leanest, expansive reader you could get on a burdened Android).
I worry that I'm missing some features on stock firmware I got used to, although I was not a power-user anyway.
I'm concerned the firmware offsets or functions become so different on Tolino flavored firmware that there might be less (if any) development happening.

But given the prize and my location, I'm hard-pressed to find an alternative to the Shine 5, so I'll probably just get it.

You can everytime downgrade the fiirmware to 5.0.175773.
Iff the Settings will be at Kobo in Future can no one say.
To the Today Newest Firmware 5.2.190625 the Settings will be at Kobo after the Updates.

Koreader must make from the coder kompatible. if it is today i dont new because i dont use it.
that must you look on the Koreader Pages.

I dont knew was features you miss on stock firmware.


I run a tolino Vision color as libra colour and to test the same with kobo settings on shine 5 and shine color
