Tolino shine 5 / kobo
I just bought a new tolino shine 5, because I wanted to be able to use the remote. Before, I had the tolino shine HD for years and dark mode meant it was black background and white font everywhere, throughout the whole interface. Now, dark mode apparently only means you get black background and whit

Gibt es E-Reader die halbwegs flüssig funktionieren?
Mein 10 Jahre alter kindle Paperwhite funktioniert smooth. Neuer Tolino Shine 5: umblättern tut mir weh bitte lass mir 10 sekunden Gedenkpause. Du willst ein neues Buch öffnen - ne fick dich - komm in 3 Minuten wieder. Wohlgemerkt bei einem kleinen einfachen ePub.

Looking for a comprehensive list of differences between the Software on the Kobo Clara BW and Tolino Shine 5
I only had the Kobo Clara BW for a relatively short time (I am more into PocketBooks), and all I know about the Shine 5 is via mails with my sister and when I can get my hands in it when being at Thalia. So generally speaking, is the Shine 5 (in contrast to previous Shines) almost a Kobo Clara BW: h

Tolino shine 5th Gen dark mode?
The issue with Tolino Shine 5 is that 'dark mode' is only limited to the display of the actual book's contents. The old tolino OS coming with eg tolino page 2 was more consistent with regards to that setting. If you switch to table of contents or the main screen you don't have 'dark mode'. Which is

Firmware 5.13.239318
Moin, danke für die Übersicht, sowas hilft sehr. Das Einfrieren nach "Wird geladen..." ist sehr unbefriedigend, um es mal milde auszudrücken; ich kann nur noch lesen, weil ich aufgrund Deiner Hinweise alle Fortgeschrittanzeigen ausgeschaltet habe, und selbst dann erscheint hin und wieder diese Meldu

Tolino firmware 5.xx so slow and buggy... is it only with me?
Same here - I'll send it back. This is somewhat sad that a new tolino shine 5 out of the box struggles to open a regular epub and page turning takes forever...

Onleihe und ereader
PocketBook hat eine dezidierte Onleihe App installiert, bei (neuen) Tolinos musst du entweder über den mehr als mäßigen internen Browser gehen oder über den Umweg PC. Neue Tolinos (Shine [5], Shine Colour, Vision Colour) haben wie schon angedeutet eine komplett andere Software. Dein alter Tolino fun

My new Tolino Shine 5, I love it. <3
All I can tell you is that when I click on my PocketBook on a footnote, they work flawlessly. Also jumping back from the footnote. Same with my Kobo Clara BW when an epub is converted to kepub: they also work flawlessy. It's very easy to click on them, it's rather hard to miss them I would say. And
