... out to do brilliantly.
My Vox did freeze once and I had to reset, but everything is backed up and all my purchases were automatically re-downloaded so it was no more than an inconvenience. Looking for other downsides, the weight of the reader is probably one (although the counterside of that is its a sturdy piece of kit, so depends on your take), and the battery life would be the other. In my experience it didn't meet the claims of length of battery life - particularly when connected to wifi, I have wifi turned off at...more

The Kobo Vox was my introduction to the world of ereaders /tablets, so I have nothing to compare with, BUT, I have found it to be an absolutely great piece of kit. It was a gift so I had no preconceptions about what I wanted to use it for but the functions I have used have met all my needs. The main usage is obviously as an ereader, and this is where I feel I am better off with my Kobo that with a Kindle. I have downloaded the Kindle app onto my vox, so I have full access to the Kindle store (often slightly (pence) cheaper than the Kobo store) and can read those books on my Vox.

The kobo ereader is a basic tablet, that comes with android preinstalled. It costs around £100 from WHSmith, and to be honest... I would just save your money.

I am originally one of the unconverted who preferred to be able to carry a book with me. My wife bought me this for my birthday and i was suprised at how easy it was to set up. It looks and feels great with the quilted back cover. It is not just an E Reader but acts as a sort of mini tablet as well. The price was extremely low considering the Kindle costs more and does less. Not only can it hold all your books but it is Wi-Fi enable allowing you to surf the net and check social media eg Facebook and Twitter. With the Android operating system you also have access to the Android/Google Store so you can download Apps, I even managed to download a Kindle App so i could get .. Read the complete review
