    There is also a USB port on the underside to charge the battery of your tolino; this USB port can also be used to connect the device to your PC.

  • Page 7: Charging Your Tolino

    According to the specification, each USB port provides at least 500mA of pow- er at 5V. If you take a closer look at the port on your tolino, you will see that the input values are 5V and 1A. If you charge your tolino with a power supply that provides a higher performance than the standardized USB port, the charging time will decrease ( to almost half).
  • Page 8 If you charge your tolino through the USB cable on your PC, tolino assumes that you want to access it via USB; for this reason, it refuses the reading function, since you can now access the file structure of the tolino on the computer. However, there’ s a little trick that lets you still read while charging the device: Connect your tolino to your computer using the USB cable.

  • Page 14: Getting Started With Tolino

    1.5 Getting started with tolino You can quickly get started with your tolino. Neither you nor tolino have to learn a lot for this, as many things are intuitive. This is mainly due to the touch screen. You can simply touch the screen with your finger to trigger an action.
  • Page 15 To learn how to purchase the latest books or the classic you’ve al- ways wanted to read, see Chapter 5, “E-Books for your tolino”. Between the book titles of your library and the status bar, there is another important button in the upper left-hand corner of the home page—the Menu...
  • Page 16 You will notice that your tolino quickly tires and goes to sleep if you do nothing for a while—by default, this happens after 5 minutes. In that case, tolino shows you its smiling face. And although he asks for quiet with “Hush”, you must wake it up if you want to continue reading.

  • Page 17: Entering Text

    To turn off the Reader, tap on the Switch off command. Now your tolino will switch off. Basically, you don’t need to perform this action often because the sleep mode is almost identical to it. In that mode, too, the device con- sumes almost no energy, but it is available to you more quickly.

    Purchasing is done very quickly. You simply access your shop on your tolino, select a new book and buy it using the data you entered during registration.

  • Page 20: Reading Books On Your Tolino

    2.1 The reading view Even if you haven’t bought any e-books yet and saved them on your tolino, you can still try reading them on your device, because at least one book is already available in your library. Chapter 5, “E-Books for your tolino”, explains how you can buy more e-books and load them onto your tolino.

  • Page 21: Scrolling Within A Book

    That’ s basically all you need to do. You can now read your first book on your tolino without making any further settings or adjustments. As soon as you do not scroll for a certain period of time, your tolino will go to sleep. But before you delve any further into the adventures of Jack London, you can continue reading here—it may not be...

  • Page 23: Opening The Page You Last Read

    As soon as you wake it up again using the power button, the last page opens automatically. However, if you switch off your tolino entirely after reading, it will display the home page the next time you switch it on.

  • Page 28: Installing Dictionaries

    While reading your e-books, you may come across some terms for which you would like a more detailed explanation, or you see an unknown expression in a foreign-lan- guage book. Your tolino can help you with the appropriate dictionaries. However, you first need to download such dictionaries onto your device.

  • Page 33 TIP: Setting the font size by spreading your fingers In keeping up with the times, the font size on your tolino can also be changed using a finger gesture. Spread two fingers apart in the middle of the screen and change the size.

  • Page 34: Rotating The View

    You may know this from your smartphone: Depending on which way you hold your smartphone, the display changes from portrait to landscape or vice versa. Your tolino can also rotate the view. To do this, tap the Rotate view button in the control bar.

  • Page 35: Customizing Brightness And Color Temperature

    Your tolino memorizes the screen orientation setting for each book; this means you can read one book in landscape format and another in portrait format. However, the home page and the menu are always displayed in portrait format. 2.12 Customizing brightness and color temperature Not only is the text display important for an enjoyable reading experience, but also the right illumination.

    In the evening, a warmer shade is used, which is more pleasant for our eyes in the dark. Your tolino adjusts to the set date and time.

  • Page 37: Accessing The Internet With Tolino

    3 Accessing the internet with tolino If you want to use your tolino only for reading, you don't really need an internet con- nection. However, by the time you want to buy an e-book, you will no longer be able to do without access to the web.

    WLAN password should not remain stored on the tolino; after all, a small e-book reader and thus also the compa- ny password can easily get lost in one way or another.

  • Page 42: Logging On To A Telekom Hotspot

    You can connect your tolino free of charge with the internet via Telekom HotSpots. As a tolino user, you actually benefit a great deal from this, as this feature allows you to access the internet at no cost from nearly anywhere in Germany: Open the WLAN and flight mode page and tap on Not connected.

  • Page 43: Surfing The Web With Your Tolino

    3.6 Surfing the web with your tolino If you are connected to the internet, you can also use your tolino to surf the web. However, you will notice that the surfing experience with your tolino is not really con- vincing, since the representation of the majority of web pages is not customized to the viewing options of your tolino.
  • Page 44 You'll notice that some of the basic features of an web browser are missing. For example, you can't open multiple pages at once. But don't begrudge your tolino for that—it is not intended to replace browsing on your computer or smartphone, but to give you the opportunity to read or look up something on the internet when you' re holding it in your hand anyway.

  • Page 45: Creating And Managing Internet Bookmarks

    3.7 Creating and managing internet bookmarks On your tolino you can also designate a website as a favorite site by pressing the bookmark icon next to the address bar for a few seconds (long press). The icon will then be filled out in black indicating that you have added this page to your bookmarks.

  • Page 47: Specifying Your Payment Method

    4.3 Creating a library link You love historical novels, but you don’t like the selection in the shop where you are registered via your tolino? That’ s no problem at all. You can link the shop of another tolino bookseller to your library.

  • Page 58 TIP: Finished books If you have read a book with your tolino up to the last page, the device will ask you if you want to mark the book as finished. If you answer this dialog with Yes, the book will automatically be stored in the Finished books collection.

  • Page 59: Creating A Collection

    6.2 Creating a collection The collections on your tolino are like individual shelves of your bookcase, into which you only arrange certain books. But unlike a real book shelf, the books sorted into collections also remain in your overall library.

  • Page 60: Adding Books To A Collection

    Confirm the assignment of the titles to your collection by tapping on Add the top right-hand corner of your screen. This way you can create as many collections on your tolino as you like. To view a collection, you simply need to tap on the title image of the collection. You will then only see those books which you have stored in the respective collection.

    Confirm this action by tapping on the Remove button in the top right-hand corner. 6.5 Finding e-books on your tolino If your library has grown to such an extent that even a division into collections does not make it easier to find books, and you can no longer find your favorite title(s) no matter how hard you try, you can use the search function.

  • Page 62: Deleting Books And Freeing Up Storage Space

    6.6 Deleting books and freeing up storage space Even in the world of tolino, keeping things in order can be very helpful, and a spring-cleaning will result in a clear overview and freed-up storage space, especially if your library is overflowing with titles and the free space on your tolino is running out.

  • Page 72: Important Actions And Settings

    8 Important actions and settings You will certainly use your tolino a lot when you’re on the road and it may happen that you’ll leave it somewhere unattended. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you secure your tolino against unauthorized use by means of a numbers lock. Infor- mation about how to do that and a few other important measures will be provided in this chapter.
  • Page 73 A small info box notifies you that the numeric code you entered previously has been activated. When you restart your tolino or wake it up from sleep mode and your numeric code is activated, you will be prompted to enter the code. Once you have entered it, tap on the checkmark at the bottom right in order to confirm your entry.

Here, too, you have the option of triggering the update pro- cess immediately (Update now) or postponing it (Later).

    This will shut down your tolino, which can take a while. After that, the screen you saw when you switched on your tolino for the first time will display again, and you can start setting up your tolino from scratch—or switch it off if you want to sell it or give it away.

  • Page 77: Adjusting The Time

    In the menu, tap on Settings and then on Time. This will open the Time page. If you want your tolino to take care of the correct time by itself, you should keep the Automatic setting switch activated.

  • Page 78: Screen Refresh

    The Frequency window allows you to determine how often you want to have this process carried out. The fewer times the screen refresh is performed by your tolino, the less power it needs. In this respect, too, the option Never is indeed the right choice.

  • Page 79: The Sleep Mode

    8.7 The sleep mode As you already know, your tolino loves to go to sleep. When it is not used for a while, it automatically goes into sleep mode. By default, this happens after five minutes. You can, however, change this time period although the waiting period cannot be shorter than five minutes.
