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

Fortgeführter Thread

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)
