The difference in the dictionaries is striking. And I mostly read ebooks in foreign languages.

Verdict: I very much wished for loving the Tolino (home bias, cloud sync), I will buy the Kobo and might hack it to have DropBox support unlocked for syncing files.

Kobo
- 👍 Canadian/Japanese company
- 👎 Only one store
- 👍 Has Pocket integration (does half of "Send to Kindle", can not send arbitrary files, only articles)
- 👎 Can not sync files via "cloud", although DropBox/GoogleDrive seems to be built in but locked down in this model, might be hackable
- 👍 Good dictionary support, sub-word selection possible
- 👍 There seems to be a larger community working on hacks for the Kobo
- 👎 50% more expensive than the Tolino

Dictionary of the Tolino, weird machine-readable metadata at the top, one needs to scroll for definition
Dictionary of the Kobo with "Sonne" from "Sonnenscheindauer" selected and the definition clearly readable

So I've ordered both a Kobo Clara BW and a Tolino Shine 5 and tested them side-by-side a bit. The hardware looks identical, the software has a lot in common.

Tolino:
- 👍 "European (German)" developed product
- 👍 Can use multiple (DACH) stores
- 👎 Nothing like "Send to Kindle"
- 👍 Can sync documents/books via their web based "cloud"
- 👎 Crappy dictionary, can not select sub-word text (no lookup of parts of compound words, sucks for German)

It's THE PRISONER OF ZENDA meets BRIGADOON. . .with guardian ghosts. :)

REVENANT EVE by Sherwood Smith is out in the world again! This is my favorite contemporary cross-time series of Sherwood's works. Can a modern woman protect an ancestor & future queen during Napoleonic times?

[ALT TEXT: REVENANT EVE by Sherwood Smith.] [ALT IMAGE: A brilliant sunset illuminates a dark blue sky brushed with vivid orange and apricot light. It is seen above a walled Medieval European city and castle at the top of the book cover. In the center are mists of orange, palest yellow and turquoise, part thick fog, part mysterious forests, the sloping hill before the woods brushed with frost on dry grass. At the bottom of the painting is flat ground, even a rocky plateau. There's a crumpled scarlet satin garment of some kind in the foreground. On top of the material is seen the bronze hilt, pommel and guard of a burnished steel sword, as well as a collar of pearls and teardrop-shaped semi-precious stones.]
