Was it a recent cnet report on that almost two year old device? As far as i know, they discontinued it because a new model--the Arc-- was released. I had the Vox, not a great tablet, but not at all a bad reader with extra capabilities, which is what it was sold as being. It also had full access to the Play store fairly early on.
I recently used a Kobo Arc for a little while. Not bad at all, though I prefer my Nexus 7.
I like removable batteries, too. There are people who have succesfully replaced Kobo batteries--but they are not designed to be replaceable and you have to be fairly brave to do it. Then again, if trashing the machine is the alternative, then trying a replacement might seem more reasonable.
