Amazon is not making its tablet. Nor is B&N. Heck, Apple doesn't make the iPAD either. All of them are involved in decisions regarding design and features. I am sure that is true for Kobo and the Vox as well.

I mentioned Wistron because they have a good reputation in terms of hardware build. Android 2.3 is Android 2.3. The Kobo part of it all has to do with how they build out the App that will run on the tablet. From what I hear, they have a great team working on that. Kobo is not forking or adding a custom UI to the tablet. That should be a good thing.

What we don't know is if the app that runs on the Vox will be more fully featured than other Android Apps.
