Ouch on Kobo's part! I'll definitely keep that in mind. However, if you're willing to, ah, buy your raffle ticket, you could
win the Vox. Every book you buy between now and Oct. 31 is a chance to win the Vox. Hmm, I prefer the "give us your email and see what happens" contests - except I never win!
Scion makes a great point, though, on repairs and shipping. Coby would swap out my 7024 with its known defect, but I had to pay shipping both ways and it'd be 6 to 9 weeks before I got the new one - that might have the same defect.
Amazon saved me on that one! But now with the A1 pre-order, looks like I'll be in the same waiting boat if I'd done the swap (and sunk more $$ in it). Sigh. I got spoiled by my work's Galaxy tablet lovely display and now I have a hard time going back to the budget friendly 1024x600 screens.
I could save $30 on the Vox and get it a week or so sooner, but after hearing about Kobo's screen policy, I'm not sure if that's worth it. Hmm.
