That's really amazing! I can't buy DRM ebooks, because I don't wanna give up my old tolino reader.

    First time hearing about this "Tolino eReader". Does it not allow user-supplied files, even with potential OS modifications?

    If it doesn't, though, I'd still suggest stocking up on DRM-free ebooks, both for when you can use them, and to be another person voting with the wallet to show there is space in the market for DRM-free contents.

    At some point the certificates on the device just run out.
    I don't know about the Tolino, but my two readers (a Sony and a Pocketbook) are both more than 10 years old and are not capable any more of using any new DRM books because their certificates have now long expired...

    In case it wasn't a typo...

    DRM ≠ DRM-free

    DRM is used for validation. DRM-free is the lack of DRM.

    If the certificates are for books you'd get from their approved stores, still that shouldn't affect PDFs and the sort you get from Humble Bundle, Itchio, etc.
