More comfort in the compact class.

Handy to use, friendly to the environment. A shining example not only in convenience, but also in sustainability: recycled plastic was used for the first time in the production of the tolino shine 4.


Faster page-turning thanks to more powerful processor: The optimized 6-inch E Ink display, together with a new, even more powerful processor, ensures a 20% faster response time compared to its predecessor.


With the new tolino shine 4 you can now also read flexibly in portrait and landscape format. And this also relaxed in the bathtub, the swimming pool or at the lake: Because thanks to water protection, the new tolino shine 4 is protected against water from the inside and thus forgives an immersion in water.
