Digital reading with no frills

Now for the device:

The Tolino shine is very light, fits comfortably in your hand, is easy to use and self-explanatory. A USB cable lay with the device, a power supply is not. I think that almost every household has a Micro-USB charging cable, or at least a power plug in the house. Therefore, an advantage that is not too much waste is included.

After I confirmed the country setting in the eReader software installed independently and I was able to, supplied to the device, to access e-books. The next settings served the WLAN this, I wanted to not actually have! But the device did Updates and Free E-Books for sale in Thalia had also somehow on device. So just slipped briefly into the WLAN also here the device went smoothly! The Tolino shine withdrew the updates needed and also the 4 e-books from Thalia. Mind you, I was not in the shop registered very strange: rool:

After the main settings were therefore made not registered in the telecom cloud, not logged into the shop, WLAN deactivated (otherwise connects Tolino traveling even independently with the Telekom hotspots, I will not for me. I could devote to reading settings . These are comfortable and easy to access and remain in book exchange. The reading light is to be controlled manually and can also be adjusted in brightness. The e-ink display can be reflecting and glare-free reading and is super sharp. As has advertising not too much promised!

Via USB allows the digital books and PDF files loading and unloading problems on the eReader. The Tolino shine is independently recognized as a USB storage device and can, similar to a stick, are handled.

Last Test: What happens when you download from the Thalia store?

This morning I wanted to know it, and have dared. If I had other e-books downloaded from Thalia, I always get this via email and was the epub files easily copy of the mail in the Bluefire app, as it goes well with the Tolino? Quite simply: Login to Shop (Tolino-Home), select digital book or buy. But what a shock: the Tolino I paid with a credit card and it is this payment was now enshrined in the Store settings Tolino, I could not change it! Well, I thought, at least when I'm asked for the security numbers, I have to yes to change and confirmed the purchase. Nothing! Debited! Violently, I thought something like that would be impossible, but I'm learning, too never made the payments then I could change only via PC on my account Thalia;

The download started very quickly, from the shop on device, but surprise, surprise, the telecom cloud was also activated at a time. Strange yesterday because I had yet to create an account to me

Conclusion:
Handling: 5 stars
Design: 5 stars
Binding to Cloud: Yes, therefore only 2 stars

The shine is Tolino can prepare a small and handy eReader of a lot of reading pleasure, if the user is only interested in reading eBooks. Images can hardly represent the Tolino shine through the grayscale. Operation is simple and self-explanatory, only the receipt of data gives me a headache, so there is of my overall grade: 4 stars

A unit for private reading there is not yet well or to manipulate the devices and e-books around, bypassing the licenses. This would probably not helped. Thus my desire remains a dream for a unsupervised reading fun. At least I can turn off the WLAN and the Tolino shine even feed via USB.
