I'm surprised to hear of this change. While tolino is owned by Kobo, and the tolino hardware is similar to the Kobo hardware, they have been keeping this sort of thing separate. And the vision 6 strange. It appears to use the case of the new Kobo Libra 2, but, the internals are probably closer to the Kobo Sage or maybe the Elipsa. But, the vision 6 is still running the Android based software similar to earlier devices.

Adding the product and vendor id to the TOLINO driver in eb600.py is the right way to do it. Unless there has been a change in the software, it will be using the "/Books". And the sub-directories will appear as collections. It might be the lowest level directory that is used. The device does scan elsewhere for books, but, collections are not create with books found elsewhere. Unfortunately, tolino do not expose data about the reading status or metadata to be able to fetch it.

I have a modified version for the TOLINO driver adding the epos in a different way (my only tolino device). The main difference is that it displays the name of the device rather than a generic name. I have added the vision 6 to this. If you can try this and it works, I will check it in.
