Erfahrungen mit Tolino / Kobo
Ich hab einen Shine 5 und liebe das Teil. Der Kobo, der ja der Tolino mit anderer software ist, würde schon deutlich mehr kosten (Gerade 130€ statt die 110€ des Tolino). Außerdem weiß ich nicht, ob der Kobo in Deutschland irgendwie Probleme macht, wenn man online was kaufen möchte, ich hab da keine

E-Reader
Ich habe mir letzte Woche aus ähnlichen Gründen wie du einen e reader bestellt, allerdings ist er noch nicht da. Thalia halt 🙈 da darf man sich niemals liefern lassen das dauert lächerlich lange.... Mein Gründe für den Kauf waren Platzmangel und dazu noch Kosten (e Books sind etwas günstiger) Mit ei

Change from Vision 5 to Vision Color
I made the same switch (Vision 5 -> Vision Color) a while ago, and I do consider it an upgrade. The Vision Color is noticeably faster than the Vision 5 and I really enjoy the color book covers and occasional comic. As for drawbacks, the color screen is indeed not for everyone, as it's a bit dimmer a

E-Reader Ja oder nein?
Ich hab mir Anfang Januar einen gegönnt, einen Tolino shine 5. Bei Produktbewertungen steht er würde oft abstützen, aber das ist bei mir bisher nur 1x passiert und ich lese täglich und auch mal mehrere Stunden. Er ist jetzt nicht so schnell wie ein Smartphone aber das stört vielleicht die ersten 1-2

Tolino software
Hello fellow long time Tolino user! The downside to the Tolino software (according to what I've read a lot on various subreddits) is that it feels slow when compared to Kobo or Kindle. In my opinion, this is only noticeable when comparing devices directly side by side, and a worthy trade-off for hav

How good are tolinos for reading manga?
Kobo Shine 5, Shine Colour & Tolino Vision Colour are the first devices that switched to a slightly modified Kobo-OS, so they should be similar to the Kobo counterparts. All other Tolino models you should either ignore (older Android based firmware) or look up for user experience especially regardin

Which Tolino e readers support conversion to kobo’s software?
I looked into this a bit more as I got hold of a few Tolino Shine. Most are Shine 4 (equivalent to Kobo Clara 2E) but one was a Shine 5 (equivalent to Kobo Clara BW). The Shine 4 and Vision 6 (and EPOS 3) are not able to be converted. For the Shine 5, Shine Colour and Vision Colour, it's very simple

Tolino shine - Versions
I've had a Tolino Shine 5 and Vision Color since last week and I can only tell you that an upgrade is worth it. The devices are significantly faster than the Shine 3. ;D And the Tolino Shine 5 is available for around €110 at MediaMarkt.☺️

PSA: if you turn your tolino into a kobo it'll become more prone to crashes, refusing to open large books
I turned my Tolino Shine 5 into a Kobo (+ Koreader) and haven't had any problems with it, on the contrary. Extremely large books take a while on first-open, but that was the case with the Tolino firmware as well.
