Hello everyone, I got a Tolino shine 5 BW a few months ago and I was enjoying it until I did a software update to 5.15.253009 (April 27 2026), after which all my reading progress and annotations got deleted and the oxford english dictionary which came with the device got replaced with something else that I dont like at all.
I was able to see my pre-update annotations by connecting the device to a pc and viewing the files in the 'Digital Editions\Annotations\ folder. But it seems like the new software no longer uses that folder to store annotations. I believe they are now stored in some of the sqlite files in the .kobo\ folder but I dont know of a way of transferring the old annotations to the new format.
I wasnt able to find the old oxford dictionary online anywhere. I even had a look at the files at https://mytolino.de/software-updates-tolino-ereader/ but couldnt find it there either. If someone has that old oxford dichtml file or can share an old image that I can look into I would be very happy.
Some other problem I noticed after the update is that I can no longer select any word in the top most line in a page to annotate or do a dictionary search. If there is a solution to that please let me know.
Thanks :)
