Kindle vs Tolino in our news:
2024. Tolino e-readers will no longer use Android
Tolino e-readers, initially targeting the European German-speaking demographic, have been on the market since 2013. In 2019, Kobo took over the hardware design for all forthcoming e-readers while maintaining Android as the operating system. However, a recent report suggests a significant shift: upcoming models like the Tolino Shine, Tolino Vision Color and Shine Color will run on Linux with an entirely revamped UI and menu layout. This marks a transition where Kobo oversees both hardware and software development. Upon their release in June, these new Tolino e-readers will offer a user experience resembling Kobo's, though with subtle distinctions. Users can still access various German bookstores, purchase and listen to audiobooks and enjoy continued support for European libraries, facilitated by LCP DRMs.
2013. Amazon launches electronic literary magazine for Kindle
Amazon introduced an electronic magazine Day One, which will feature the work of one writer and one poet each week. An annual subscription is typically $19.99 but is available for $9.99 for “a limited time.” Issues will be delivered directly to your Kindle or Kindle app and “each issue of Day One includes a letter from the editor, along with occasional bonus content such as playlists, illustrations, or brief interviews with the authors.” Amazon aims to highlight the work of emerging authors and translate stories from across the globe into English. The first issue, released on Wednesday, included the short story "Sheila" by Rebecca Adams Wring and "Wrought," a poem by Zach Strait.
