The Kindle app for the Vox is available at the site linked above. It's handy when new books come out and are only available in the Kindle format, not epub, which is most of the time. That's the reason I got the Kindle app. As I recall, it has more and better features than the Kobo reader. However, I've mostly been reading books with Aldiko, which I find better than the rest. Even when I get library books with Overdrive, I strip the DRM with a Calibre add-on so I can read them with Aldiko. This has the additional advantage of being able to finish reading the book after its expiry date because I'm usually in the middle of another book when a library book I have on hold becomes available, so I'd only have a week to read it by the time I get to it. Yeah, I'm not a speed-reader.

However, the newest (May 2012) version of Overdrive has an amazing new feature, the ability to zoom photos and illustrations if you long-press them. That's something I haven't seen in any other reader.
