I'm wondering if all Vox users are having problems, or just those who frequent forums, tweak them and root them and load them up with a zillion new apps? Surely Kobo will have a new update with bug fixes available before a whole slew of new users power up their new toys on Christmas morning.

I know there are at least a few of us on these forums who don't root their Vox. I certainly have done VERY little to change it from its original form (I am having the sleep-of-death problems). I also know that there are a few people on the forums who have had no problems at all.
From what I can tell, Kobo is working very hard to figure out a solution for these issues and I am confident that eventually there will be an update (or a few) that makes the Vox problem-free. That being said, I'm not gifting the Vox to anyone this Christmas who I know won't be patient to wait for these things until I know these issues are solved.
(I have said this before, but I will repeat, these issues are frustrating but it doesn't make the Vox unusable - at least not for me. I've gotten into habits of turning off the Vox instead of putting it to sleep when I'm out and leaving it on wifi-never sleep when I am at home to avoid the frustrations of the sleep-of-death).
