+ 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

• 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 ).
• Change Display Propertys:
  • App „TestEink“:
    • Changes to (New/Orig):
      • Choose a waveform-mode: GLR16 / DU
