Exactly! We're comparing apples to oranges here. Tablets to eReaders.
If you want to play around with a serious but discontinued tablet available at a fire sale price then get the PowerBook. It's very good value if that's what you need.

But if you want an eReader that supports Canadian library ebooks then get the Vox. It's not perfect but it does the job, will hopefully benefit from software improvements as an internationally popular product. And the Vox has the potential to be a successful player in the future in a new product category and at a very attractive price point.
