Rant time! Some time ago, I bought a Tolino, an e-reader by Deutsche Telekom that is sold in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands. Huge mistake! At first, I loved not having to lug around printed books. Then the screen broke, I got the device replaced. Then the updates started. It looks like the device is running Android. Instead of a sweet half hour of light reading in the evening it was a sweaty two hours of searching my two passwords (one for the device and the Thalia bookstore, and one for the Adobe DRM, which I need to enter everytime I want to read in a book I fu*king paid for, and don't get me started on the keyboard and the slow screen refresh rate) before the unskippable update finished. The update broke my account, so I had to physically go to a bookstore to have them restore my account, which is the exact opposite of what I had in mind when purchasing this piece of utter garbage. Then I started realizing that books on Amazon are like 50% cheaper than in the Tolino store, and there is no way to buy books on Amazon and read them on Tolino. Oh, and they don't have a lot of books either, especially if they're not in German! What a horrible experience, I will never again buy anything made by Tolino, Thalia or Deutsche Telekom.
