Kobo Vox: Now comes with Google Play and more
It looks like the folks at Kobo have been busy....


Quote:
With Google Play preloaded on the Kobo Vox eReader! For current obo Vox and Google PlayVox users, Google Play will be automatically included in the software update the next time they connect to the internet. With the new integration, Kobo Vox customers now have access to over 500,000 apps at their fingertips.

“Google Play is the perfect addition for the content-rich eReading environment of the Kobo Vox. This is another big step in our ability to give people an open and compelling multimedia device that can be customized to suit their needs. Having access to the thousands of games, apps and tools offered by Google Play makes the Kobo Vox an eReader and so much more.”
- Dan Leibu, CTO, Kobo Inc.

The closest competitor is the Nook Color and for only $11 more you get the Google Play store and a host of Google apps. You can now use your vox to read Kindle, B&N, Google, Adobe, etc.. without having to fiddle with rooting or side-loading.
