Of course I dream of something with feature parity with the US and Eastern alternatives, but I am not interested in color or touch. Mostly care about format support and rendering.

Just as a sidenote: Tolino are rebranded Kobos (you can actually switch by editing a config file). And Kobo is a Canadian company. Which is part od Rakuten, a Japanese company.

Yeah, but is there anything better fully European yet?

Buying a Tolino and using it offline might be what people are looking for. Just add files via a USB cable, does not need internet access, even makes the battery last longer.

Tbh, I am fairly happy with the pocket book. They use a custom Linux that e.g. alllows Koreader install(which is nice together with booklore), have public library access.

And at least they are swiss.

"And at least they are swiss."
