"We're waiting for another update before Christmas, but I expect Kobo is still tweaking it so as to not send out something that's still problematic."
Lets hope this happens. I bought a Vox for my wife for Christmas and am a little hesitant to gift it to her in its current incarnation. I've spent the last week getting all software on and getting to know all the problems, getting her library working, a few magazines and subscriptions working etc. I can help her when she needs help but I don't want to gift her with something that will frustrate her because she is a user not a tinkerer, a fairly savy user, but still.
I know the above sounds like one big excuse to keep the Vox for myself but its not
I have really begun to enjoy the little thing and its become stable and it now works as expected, perhaps my expectations have changed, or I have began modifying my behaviour to accomodate the small issues without realizing it. It would t hough be really nice to get an update that irons out most of the obvious bugs in the device before Christmas.
Best,
W.
