Well, all I can say is "job well done!". With this latest update, and Google Play among other things, you have totally transformed the Vox from a good eReader with a prior 'so, so' tablet side functionality, to a smooth running (for a single core 800MHz CPU) and good finger/swipe screen response.... true 7 inch tablet. I am amazed how seamless and painless it is now to add any app you might want from Google Play. I have Google Play in auto-app update mode, and smile as I watch it totally update one by one, the various apps that came standard with the Vox, and the ones I had side-loaded from the start. Also, I had a 'very slow speed and use' issue with Google Maps right after the Google Play update install, but last night, Google Play automatically updated Maps, and now it is as fast a load, and the use of as any other app on the rig. Kobo Guys and Gals, you have really pulled the rabbit out of the hat with this update. If you could remove the 'Books just for you' B.S. and just let me once again have my 3 book mosaic and....... let ME find my own books of interest (as I was happy to do before the second last update), it would be a 10 out of 10 for my present usage of and opinion of the Vox. With this most recent update, you gave us flexibility and speeded up the entire system response (I believe anyways....).

Thank you from a most happy Vox owner. Please though....reconsider the book pushing and 'just for you' and allow us to remove it if we wish. The 'just for you feature' pushes books that for over 99 percent, I have absolutely no interest in buying. It is a total irritant. I had to be honest with that. The latest update though? Fully, a winner in its implementation. Now THAT was a service to your customer and Vox owner group base!!!

R.P.
