    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.

        But… that’s what I said…
        Devices stop working for DRM books, as the device’s certificates have run out.
        Same probably with the old Tolino mentioned above - only usable with DRM-free stuff now.
