I find that with its slow processor it takes forever to do simple things like open Gmail or web pages in the browser.

I hate to think how long it would take to actually Do anything!
I think I'll only ask it to do simple things - like turn pages.
Guess I'm getting old at the ripe old age of 38. I remember when a 1 MHz processor was the best most people could afford (Commodore 64) and they were happy with the results.

800 MHz (Kobo Vox) in a small, inexpensive portable device is slow? I know it's not state of the art, and that time and technology marches on, but it ought to be good enough for simple games, shouldn't it? Heck, that's a faster clock speed than the original Xbox (it was 733 MHz), and the Vox has 8x more RAM too. I know it's hard to compare a tablet against a game console, and the GPUs are quite different, but the Vox is far from a dog of a system, even if there are more powerful options on the market.
