Easy to use, kind to the environment. A shining example not only in terms of comfort, but also in terms of sustainability: recycled plastic was used in the production of the tolino shine.


Open your ears: With the new tolino shine, you now also have the option of listening to your favorite books flexibly and conveniently. With the tolino shine, you can now also enjoy your digital audio books purchased from a tolino bookseller via headphones or speakers via Bluetooth and set the playback speed individually.


With the new tolino shine, you can also relax and read in the bathtub, swimming pool or at the lake: thanks to its water protection, the tolino shine is protected against water and can therefore withstand immersion in water.

smartLight: Optimal reading light by day and night

The tolino shine lets every story appear in the best light at all times. With its clever adjustment of the color temperature, tolino shine always provides the most pleasant lighting for reading. In harmony with natural daylight, the shine changes from cold white light in the morning to warm white light in the evening. This means that your biorhythm is not disturbed and you can enjoy relaxed reading moments at any time of day or night. Of course, you can also switch the light off completely during daylight hours to extend the battery life even further.
