Well...how wonderful is this new Kobo Vox that I introduced into my lifestyle?...well, I'll tell you you how wonderful this technology is (large grin)

Not only do I enjoy recreational reading, but I am also a musician.

So...yesterday I got to thinking, how else to maximise this new toy in my life?

Got it!.....

Sure reading....but, how 'bout I scan my lyrics and then port them over through Adobe Publisher to the Vox? Actually create my own lyric/music books that can be used while in concert? So....I did! The result is awesome!

I now have in one small form factor (with its very own back-lighting that I can set intensity to house environment) that can be placed upon a music stand, AND...AND...this is the most important aspect,...I can with an easy tap of my forefinger to the right side of the display, advance the lyrics. Not flail with hope 'n prayer that my hand motion will turn over large pages, or that they (horror in live performance) fail to advance or fall off of the music stand (arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.......)

The Vox rocks with any new idea for usage that I throw at it. I am sorry to read that some are having their travails with the product. For myself, it has only been from unboxing, one smile after another. With Wi-Fi turned off (in Airplane mode or by the widget) I get around 6 hours of continuous use. Not bad for a back-lit product.

So...as the title of my post suggests, think 'outside the box' to maximise your purchase. Mechanics can use it with a small self-made stand to read their own tear-down instructions (with pictures) in the shop. Hobbyists can port over their particular needs, etc. Cooking and creating in the kitchen is a no brainer, lol.

The Vox with its ample storage can more than just be a published book reader and Net cruiser. You only have to think....outside the box!!!

Cheers,
