A lot of people (including me) had to power the Vox down after we did the initial update and set-up process fresh out of the box, and then let it sit and charge (with power off) for at least 5 hours. If you did not do this, try this - it should solve your problem.

The reason is two fold:

1. The battery indicator is not working properly. It really does not come with much of a charge - even though it looks like it does.
2. There seems to be an issue with the Vox charging with power on/while sleeping. I am not sure if this is consistent with other Voxes out there, but it is an issue with my own, and I don't plan to try anything else until Kobo comes out with their firmware update to address battery issues.

If you've already tried this, then I'd exchange it - since there've been some unresolvable battery issues out there. GOOD LUCK!
