... In our test, the Tolino Vision 6 comes out on top because it is technically on a par with the Kindle Paperwhite, but goes a step further with its access to EPUBs and the Onleihe. If you are not interested in Onleihe, are an Audible customer and always buy your books from Amazon, you will be happy with the Signature Edition...
