Robert,
There are few changes to the Kobo reader on the Vox in this update. This is the list for the beta. There were slight differences in the production update.
* Facebook Timeline
* Facebook Timeline lets you share what you read, when you read, and more, on Facebook's new Timeline feature.
* Share all your books on Facebook Timeline, or choose the books you want to share.
* Easily turn off Facebook Timeline if you don't want to share.
* Book recommendations
* A brand new "Just For You" menu shows you recommended titles, new releases, and more.
* New Recommendations widget on the Home Screen shows you the latest reads you'll enjoy.
* Better Reading Menu - An new and improved Reading Menu for easy access to book settings, account management, social settings, and more.
* Rdio - New and improved Rdio app
* Various bug fixes and improvements
As you can see, the changes are mostly for social reading.
If you like to be able to affect the way the book looks, you might like the Mantano reader, which comes in both free and premium versions. It allows you to change many aspects of the book appearance, including alignment.
Love your books, by the way. I'm waiting for the paperback edition of Wonder, to see if the ebook price comes down some. I see your web site has links for hardcover and paperback, but not ebooks. I'm surprised, now that I know you use ereaders.
