Who cares if a Kindle read an 'epub' so long as you can read your epubs on it? |

- mobile phone - computer - two ereaders in constant parallel use because they have different screen sizes that I use for different purposes. I need to keep my ebooks in sync on all of them on the fly. I don't read for myself only, but I need to display to others, and when I add something on any random device, all other devices must be able to display it instantly. Given my situation, it is categorically out of the question to convert a part of my ebooks for one single device. Either the device can read it all or I simply won't buy it. Let's suppose so. So what? (Let's ignore for now that any time Americans launch an electronic device, the Chinese and Russians have already reverse engineered it a week earlier.)

Contrast is more properly difference of tone in two adjacent areas. Increasing the font weight or bolding does nothing to alter the contrast in the proper sense. You could just as well increase the font size. Changing the contrast is more appropriately changing the gamma of the font.

Not sure any of this helps in comparing a Kobo Aura and a Tolino Shine 2 HD.

Feeling great sympathy for the OP @swapjim for having this thread abused.

Yep. I've attached 2 images of my Kobo Aura H2O, with the slider for margins set to as narrow as possible and to as wide as possible. You normally just slide the slider to wherever in between you prefer (barring books with weird CSS layouts, of course).

Does anyone know if the Tolino can change line height?
I don't care about PDF. How is HTML, TXT, and RTF support in the two devices? Quote:

The Tolino simply offers these fine tune options:
1 Publisher's formatting, on or off 2 Font choice 3 Font size 4 Line spacing - 3 choices 5 Alignment - 3 choices 6 Margin width - 3 choices. The hyphenation is poor, in my opinion, but one can access the hyphenation dictionary via a computer and change it (JSWolf has published a much better one elsewhere on this site). I regard my Tolino as a solid, basic reader for epubs. The screen is excellent. The Tolino is my backup reader now - I use a Pocketbook HD as my main reader. |

Taking the church mouse's list and adding details for Kobo and tolino
1 Publisher's formatting, on or off - On the tolino, if this is on, the only thing you can adjust is the font size. 2 Font choice - Kobo: 10, tolino: 6. - Both have a publisher font option and you can sideload your own font on both. 3 Font size - Kobo: At least 24, tolino: 11 4 Line spacing - 3 choices - Kobo: 15 5 Alignment - 3 choices - Kobo: 3 but they are different. Kobo's is "Off" meaning whatever is in the book or the default on the device, ragged right and justified. Tolino's is justified, ragged right and centred. 6 Margin width - 3 choices. - Kobo: 9 - The tolino's choice are probably the about the same as the second, third and fourth narrowest of Kobo's. The above is comparing a tolino epos with a Kobo Aura H2O. The other Kobo devices are the same, and from what I can see, the tolino's are all the same as well. Quote:

Kobo can easily fix this issue by changing the numbers. I would suggest 2/3 as ADE 2.0.1 uses. |
