Wow, that's rather concerning, that the Vox may just decide to reset itself one day, for no apparent reason. I should make sure I have all my apps available, just in case. Most of them are already on my laptop. The books can always be redownloaded to the Vox.
I'm enjoying my Vox and I find, now that the novelty of the other things like games and browsing have worn off, I mainly use it for reading and I actually do very little web browsing with it. I have to say, though, that the odd time I watch a video on it, the display is very nice. If I had the internet connection to be able to use Netflix, it would sure be fun to watch shows on it.
I'm not having to fuss with glitches anymore, which I'm grateful for because that gets pretty old when all you want to do is read a good book.
My Sony started it and the Vox reinforced it, combining 2 of my favorite things--gadgets plus books, and with the Vox's wifi, I am easily downloading books from various sources. I frequently make a point of downloading the book onto my laptop and sometimes even transferring copies to my Sony as well, though. I use several apps for reading. The Kobo app is acting up a bit with a bug also being reported by others--the preview banner showing up on purchased books. I removed all my books that really are 'preview' and in my Vox library, I start it up on the "My books" screen. Swiping, I can get to the "Preview" page. If all is well, it should be empty. If one of my books shows up there, I open it, navigate to the middle, and close the book. The preview banner disappears. I used to have to refresh the library to get it to move back over from the Preview page to the My Books page, but today I just swiped back to My Books and the book moved over.
So I wouldn't return my Vox if there ever were a recall issued, but it's still not a product I could heartily recommend at this point unless the person I was talking to had a fair bit of technical experience. As an alternate reader, I still like my Sony. I have the silver, and with it's brushed metal finish, it looks and feels like a good quality product. I still use it if I am in a situation where I know I'm going to be a long time without access to a battery charge.
