I have just purchased a Kobo Vox on Friday, have been playing with it, when it works it is a nice little device, however I have found the following major issues with mine:

1. Battery will not charge past %50, I tried the hard reset method with no luck.

2. Kobo will often not wake up from sleep (especially when WIFI is on) sometimes I will turn it off and it will not come up at all even if I hold the power button for 15 seconds. Pressing power rapidly sometimes brings it back up but not always.

3. Various Random crashes, can't give more info than that. Just not a stable build.

I have firmware v1.5

If someone has workarounds to my issues, especially the battery won't charge issue, please help.

P.S. to the Kobo people, I am shocked that you would release such a broken tablet, I am an IT guy so I can find workarounds to the issues, however I can't imagine what someone with no computer experience is going though. Won't power on and won't charge is a STOP THE SALES issue, please fix the firmware.
