Yesterday started the Frankfurt Book Fair And just as they did last year, this year those responsible for the Tolino Alliance presented new devices. Yesterday we talked to you about the Tolino Tab 8, an 8 ″ tablet focused on the reader. Today we talk about controversial Tolino Vision 2, an eReader whose existence was already known thanks to some leaks and that we can already know all its characteristics.
Although its main novelty is that resists water, dust and shocks, certification that is given by the company HZO, Tolino Vision 2 represents an update and an improvement over its competitors. In addition, both this eReader and its predecessors can be enjoyed in more countries, so the design and features of the Tolino Vision 2 have not been created to satisfy German readers but to make a strong commitment at the European level.

The Tolino Vision 2 does not represent any huge technological advance worldwide but it is practical to have the Tap2flip function so that we can scroll through the casing, something that I find more useful than the scroll functions that were featured on the Amazon Fire Phone. I personally consider that the best thing about this release is that the Tolino Vision and Tolino Shine their price will be significantly lowered and we will have the opportunity to acquire a good eReader for a very low price. Although at the moment we will have to wait a few weeks since the Tolino Vision 2 will not be sold until November. What do you think of this new model? Do you consider it necessary or do you think it is almost the same as Tolino Vision? Do you think that the water resistance thing is being exaggerated?

The Tap2flip function to scroll through the casing is clearly flawed in the video. Its attractive design is undeniable, but on the battlefield the Kindle Paperwhite will be a very, very tough rival to reach.
The fault is due to not knowing how to use it, rather than touching it with the finger, giving it a (stronger) tack, otherwise it works very well ... I have both (kindle and tolino 2, both have things that the other does not, the tip2flip is missing kindle and tolino's audio for reading and music is missing… both are very good.
