Users are understandably a little worked-up about this! As I say; a show-stopper!
In fact our Vox eReaders do charge off of third party 2 amp chargers, as I explain in the bottom post of this thread. What we need Kobo to do now is decide if they will allow the Vox's software to follow and display the proper charge level when using a non Kobo charger. Here's hoping
