Can you use all features of Facebook and other sites with the Vox? Can you "borrow" books from a public or online library or do you have to purchase all books? Can the BB Playbook be used as an ereader? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks  |
I wouldn't say all the features of Facebook as you are presented with a smaller differently laid out screen. However the most commonly used features are certainly there.
I haven't visited that many other sites with the Vox but so far they've all worked. If they don't have a mobile/table version of the website then I just rotate the Vox into landscape mode, increase the font size a bit and away I go. I do have trouble seeing some photos because they don't zoom in very well but then I just go back to the laptop with the 24" external monitor.
As far as I know, although I haven't tried it, you can indeed borrow books from a library and read them on the Vox.
I'm very happy with purchasing the Vox. But then it's a new toy and I decided I needed one.
