It has been pretty much what I thought it would be. I tried not to have unrealistic expectations about the Vox. I knew from when I bought the Touch about Kobo tending to release readers with a few of the 'bolts still needing to be tightened'.
I also accepted that the Vox is an e-reader first and an android tablet second, and didn't expect it to be the other way around. I knew that it was based on a generic lower end android tablet platform, and adjusted my expectations accordingly. Honestly, if I had wanted the best android tablet I would have coughed up the $500+ for a Tab or a Xoom.
One thing that I was happily surprised about was how good the screen ended up being. While Kobo may have been budget conscious with the tablet hardware the screen is definitely a couple notches above what could be expected for a $200 tablet.
Overall I'm happy with the Vox and will probably end up keeping it.
