Beta testing is not for the feint of heart.
The vast majority of Kobo Vox users will be using it "out of the box" -- not rooting it -- so I would think the beta testing will focus on that. (With the caveat, as noted, that users will do their own thing, including rooting, so these practices need to be understood.)
It can be fun to try out; there is little glory; there is some pride when you know your "papercuts" led to a more stable, richer user experience. Personally, the best part is seeing a little piece of your suggestion baked into code for others to enjoy.
Beta testing isn't for casual users who "just want it to work". An inquisitive, logical approach is helpful -- to describe accurately what you are seeing, to be able to duplicate it, and to be available on a timely basis to verify that the code change has had the desired effect.
Sort of an Virtual Peace Corps ... low pay, long hours, gruelling conditions, a sense of accomplishment that you've made a difference in the world. The Kobo Vox world in this case.
