That said, my control freak rants do NOT trump availability concerns. NTX via Tolino is far from the worse OEM you could think of for an Android device... And, as I can sadly attest to, that board was very much engineered with an Android-first goal in mind...
Like I mentioned above, it *is* pretty nice hardware. |

Well, can you simplify it for me, would koreader work well on it, things like basic reading, etc. I really don't know how bad things are on coding side of things, but from user's perspective, if I can read a book without many bugs and problems, I'm fine.
I know that everything can have bugs, I sometimes even have a feeling that some devices are alive and have own feelings (sometimes they are just not in the mood to do what I would expect of them to do). ![]() So, if it can be used as a nice koreader device, when it comes time for me getting new ebook reader, I might consider it. From what I see, there's a lot of problems with latest kobo devices, so, I guess no one is perfect. |

The reading configuration is the same on a Tolino Vision 6 as on any other device. KOReader runs smoothly, it is fast and fluid. For reading there are no problems at all.
In my particular case the lack of control over the screen refresh is the main reason for not using KOReader on the Tolino Vision 6 (although you can install applications to do it) because I am very fussy in that aspect, but I recognise that the quality of the screen is excellent and a normal user will not notice the difference. Another negative aspect is the battery life, which is very poor. But this also depends on the personal assessment of each user. |

Here is a homemade video to give you an idea of how KOReader works on the Tolino Vision 6.

I mentioned this upthread, but it is easy to install KOReader on PocketBook, and it runs fine. It ran a little faster when I had it on my Oasis (which I no longer have), but it is more integrated with things on my Pocketbook Era.

About battery, how long it lasts? I get about 5-7 days of reading on Aura ONE, and double that on Aura H2O (the old version, not new). So, let's say it's a week of reading, which is fine, but it was better with H20. Last edited by Alan_S; 01-25-2023 at 07:14 PM. |

On the positive side is the quality of the screen, which is really impressive, the price (I got it in an Amazon offer for 115 €) and the autonomy offered by Android (not everything is going to be negative in Android): it allows me to have in the same device the two reading programs I like the most (AlReaderX and KOReader) and to have a very varied set of utilities (dictionaries, translators, file organisers, easy sending of books and files, cloud storage...). In the end, it all depends on what you value most. Personally, if I had to choose just one device, the Tolino Vision 6 would not be my choice. And for exclusive use of KOReader it wouldn't be one of the current Kobo devices either. As I have already said on other occasions I prefer PocketBook devices (in this respect I have a completely opposite opinion to the one offered by the KOReader developers). But it is a matter of personal taste. |

Battery life on the Libra 2 is also significantly worse using Koreader compared to the native software.. |

Goldendict and Aard2 refresh the screen when you scroll the screen (it also happens when you scroll through the AlReaderX configuration menus, in fact this is the option I use when I want to refresh the screen). I think the only reading application that allows screen refresh is Tolino's own, with which you can't directly open Goldendict/Aard 2. (I use them in a hidden drop-down bar, but you have to enter the word to search for manually). There is an older version of AlReader (without X) that allowed screen refresh on Tolino devices, but I don't know if it works on the latest devices. Maybe someone else can tell you. |

Wi-Fi off. It is possible that I have a faulty device, but I am inclined to think that this is more a generalised feature of the latest Tolino devices. In any case such poor battery life (compared to other e-readers) is either a problem or not depending on the user. I am simply pointing it out.

This does sound like a really bad battery life, and it isn't that much important if it's 8% or 10%. Not sure what is going on, but it's almost like a regular tablet, and not e-ink device.
But, your info is very helpful. |

That's the expected battery drain for a B300 SoC that does *not* enter standby properly, FWIW.
(i.e., if this were not an Android device (i.e., the Sage/Elipsa, or the Libra 2, which is an NXP SoC but has terrible PM for some reason), enabling Autostandby in KOReader would "fix" it to a more sensible (still relatively bad, but much "better") power drain). |

I tried the forced refresh every 5 pages. It made the text look worse afterwards. I just hope somebody'll write a driver for Hisense A9 in koreader. I don't know how likely that is, however. Seeing as root will probably never happen I'm not holding my breath. |
