I already know two people at work who bought one on the weekend after the price drop a few days ago. I asked them to bring them in so we could compare tomorrow!

I've seen posts where people who bought their Voxes in the past few weeks at FS or BB are planning to return them and buy a PlayBook instead.

I, for one, am very happy with my Vox - and won't be returning it - even though I have another week left in my 30 day return window. I am sticking with it - even with some of the challenges and software issues I've been having. I think the reason I am sticking with it is because I love having direct access to my Kobo books and library. I also have already purchased a handful of Vox only books, that do not seem to be compatible over other devices yet (already tried with my hubby's iPad with Kobo app).

Kobo really, really needs to pull up their socks if they want to compete...I wish them luck!
