The Tolino Vision 4HD features a six inch e-ink Carta display with a resolution of 1448 x 1072 and 300 PPI. The touchscreen interface is completely flush with the bezel, which makes interacting with it far more easier than a sunken bezel. The screen is also waterproof, which means you will be able to literally take it anywhere and read e-books to your hearts content.
Underneath the hood is a 1GHZ processor, 512MB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory and an SD card to enhance the storage even further.
Tolino is also shipping their brand new e-reader with a new Micro USB to USB reversible cable. This will make it easy to plug into your PC to recharge it or to use a wall charger.
