I love my new Vox

estelle58 · 10-31-2011, 10:18 AM

I got a beautifull black one on Saturday at Best Buy and I got a navy blue cover at Coles. After playing with it for 2 days I really love it, it does everything I was hoping it would do exept that I can't find a Kindle app and I really wanted to be able to read my Kindle books on it. I still use my Kobo WiFi on the subway commute to work but I love to use my Vox at home.

i didn't know they have it in bestbuy, and ordered one online... yet im still waiting....

Kikibay; this is Best Buy in CANADA,,, and from what we see you ordered it on SATURDAY night.

If you read the forums you will see Kobo is not able to meet the demand and has delayed orders.

Thank you, I will try it tonight

I agree, despite minor issues i love this thing, just loaded my first free e-book onto it at it works great!

pokee · 10-31-2011, 01:15 PM

Yeah, I am lovin' it too. There's a few things that don't work for me yet (You Tube, Netflix and more importantly, borrowed WMA audiobooks), but I am having a ball with the magazines and the interactive kids books. Sure beats having to spend $500 for an iPad to do that...plus it's a GREAT size and weight!!!

I am very eager to start using Pulse, but alas, since it's so new, I am the only one discussing some popular books at the mo!

@kikibay - On the contrary, I believe it was appropriate use of capitalization. In a previous post you stated "i didn't know they have it in bestbuy, and ordered one online... yet im still waiting...." the use of the word yet led me to assume that you had ordered it at some previous point where you should have received it by now. The capitalization of SATURDAY made me realize that I had erred in my assumption. You ordered on SATURDAY, and posted on MONDAY. And SUNDAY is a holiday. Not much time for shipping. One little word, yet it implies a lot!

P.S.
I'm just being an a**h*** today. Too many hallowe'en candy.
