After almost three years broke my Kindle Paperwhite, the first model with a backlit screen. Simply stopped responding to the touch of a button, froze with some publicity books on display. Great people conspired through the Internet and they gave me a new reader (Thank you! Great gift!) Tolino Vision 2. After two days I have strange thoughts and observations.
I loved my Kindle, it was the first device that is not irritated me some niedoróbkami, which never had pretensions. But recently she started to irritate me alone Amazon. I happened to buy in the book – the whole process of buying from the Kindle this jednoklikowa fable, the cloud is a great solution, the Amazon ecosystem is simplicity.
However, buying books from Amazon’s Kindle has become a pain in the ass – when once I downloaded a title and I wanted to pass it on Android, when it turned out that the format * .azw with DRM and my favorite Reader Moon Reader Pro has problems with it (reader Amazon smartphone is awful, reading it is a hassle) decided that maybe it’s time to end the “monopoly under development.”
My donors to know about it. they gave me so the reader can not Amazon’s, but with backlit, touch-screen.
Tolino backlight is white, not so bluish like the old Kindle’u, this does not annoy brightened edge. I was surprised button on the top edge is used to completely turn off the backlight, but the day proved to be right.
The reader itself is solidly made, of which slightly suede material. It is light, lighter than the old Kindle, and more rounded. Aesthetically, I can not have him any objections. Simplicity, minimalism and reliability are always pros.
With that Tolino is one crucial difference – the screen is not concave As Paperwhite, but is equal to the frame. Perhaps it is a question of water resistance (Tolino can take bath without any fear!), But the reading you need to get used to the fact that the finger did not sense the edge and can inadvertently change the page by sliding your finger inattentive. It’s just that I read to him only one book, maybe get used to it.
Tolino at the top you have a button unlocking the screen – no need for additional gestures – and the lower touch button “home”, which returns to from anywhere to your home screen.
The reader has an additional interesting feature. “Meltdown” finger in plecki can flip side, which is to be helpful in keeping Tolino one hand. Tap2flip at the beginning of the required master, but with each side rail use him more freely. This function works even while keeping the other fingers on the case.
Reading on Tolino is almost equal pleasure, what Paperwhite. Better lighting makes a difference (I have no comparison with the new Kindle’ami, because as everyone knows holder readers, readers are mentioned only when necessary!), The resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels can not as a knock as new readers, but fully enough for comfortable reading. The interface is not as well thought out as Kindle’ach, Amazon there are no competitors, but it is not unnecessarily complicated and do not need to learn it to use – everything is logical.
From the reading you have access to highlight, add notes, settings, fonts and brightness, screen rotate, bookmarks, search the file, chapters and information about progress in reading. Home it’s a little strange creature.
2/3 page is a preview of three most recently read books, books down this offer online.
For Tolino is a project of the German bookstores, which decided to join forces and create reader competing with Kindle’ami.
Tolino The idea is to fight the monopoly of Amazon – Deutsche Telekom has created a hardware and a cloud , various German bookstores sell Tolino and integrate it with their shops. From the reader I can view them unsuitable place for me, but not to annoy. Tolino is officially available in several European countries and helps fight there with Amazon and Kindle almost unrivaled prices. Maybe one day we will see him in Poland.
Tolino proves to me that readers are not only the Kindle and that you can make a really good, solid and enjoyable reader without Amazon. A brilliant gift of great friends!
