I was more refering to the verdict. For anyone not in the States this appears to be the best of the cheap tablets. And it does have a number of things that are positives (in my opinion)...this is an honest review and quite positive.
- can add up to 32 gb memory
- is not a"closed" system like the Nook, can sideload virtually any compatible app ...." The Kobo Vox comes with the stock Android music player that supports common formats (listed below) and the Rdio app pre-installed. You can sideload other apps too, such as Pandora and the other apps Amazon and B&N claim for their tablets. That's the beauty with an open Android operating system"
and " One of the coolest things about the Kobo Vox is how open it is. In addition to the Kobo eReading app, the Vox comes with Press Reader for newspapers and Zinio for magazines. Plus you can install pretty much ereading app you want, including Kindle and Nook. Not to mention the Overdrive app for borrowing library ebooks"
- has an excellent screen
" The high-quality display is definitely the Vox's strongest point. Most budget tablets under $200 have run-of-the-mill TFT LCD screens with lower resolution that aren't nearly as good, especially for reading"
- the processor while slower than the Nook and the Fire works fine except for certain games...
- "The Kobo's single core 800MHz processor handles most tasks fine, ereading, web browsing, pinch-zooming, scrolling, playing music, and even watching movies is very smooth. One thing it struggles with is certain games" (this is not a gaming device it's a reader so I don't see that as a problem)

Verdict
The Kobo Vox has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Between the excellent screen quality and open operating system, it's better than most budget tablets by a mile.
