I don't like when the players in the field become so few. Tolino has some competitive priced and good quality ereaders in Europe, even though I still prefer my Kobo.

"majority share"?
LOL, no. My original coverage: http://the-digital-reader.com/2017/0...-telecom-wait/ And a few more details: http://the-digital-reader.com/2017/0...-telecom-deal/ |

I really don't think you can say they owned a share of Tolino. |

Problem is when Rakuten cannot or aren’t willing anymore to provide the solutions and technology the partners want. On the other hand, the system is currently set up to work, so if Rakuten don’t interfere with that, everything should remain as it is. I just don’t believe that Rakuten won’t try to impose some of the Kobo stuff on the book vendors, and if that goes wrong, hell breaks lose ![]() ![]() ![]() Again, on the other hand, if Rakuten use what they have acquired to improve on the Kobo platform, readers all over the world could profit from that... |

I followed up with one of the media retailers who founded Tolino, and they said that Tolino was a brand, not a company.
I am still trying to figure that one out. |

Whatever Kobo is going to do, it seems that e-books are slowly consolidating into Amazon vs. Kobo, with a few holdouts such as ebooks.com, feedbooks.com and Google Play Books.

I keep hoping that Kobo will buy out Barnes and Noble in the US like they ended up doing in the UK. I mean sure it was the long way around, but Kobo ended up with whatever was left of BN's UK customers.
