===== Conclusion =====

  + More control on device
  + Better reading, more formats (incl. comics)
  + Ambilight can only configured into Tolino-APP, but its ok, works for all other APPs too

===== Tips =====
  * Use __only__ APPs your really need
  * Use small APPs, storage and memory are limited
  * Move APPs to SD-Card if possible
  * Have an Backup (aka Image) from your intern Card, **before** you change everything. Or know people they have one. ;-)
  * Make a Backup with TWRP (and Backup them extern too) **before** you crash the device. ;-)
  * Its possible to extend storage by copying the image from original SD-Card to an bigger one and rezise the data partition with gparted (see picture). But remember: That's an FAT-FS and you cant store bigger files else 4GB on it (like dictionarys :-().
