I would not call it a complete piece of junk, if you have some computer skills there are usually workarounds to most of the problems and you get an andreoid tablet for under $200 (179.99 at futureshop).

My honest opinion is, a potential buyer should wait until the issues get patched and it will be a great little tablet. The other option is wait until someone creates a custom rom and you will get an andreoid tablet with the google app store for under $200.

Have you tried http://getsatisfaction.com/kobo? I've heard very positive things from people bringing their issues here (along with the incident number).

I agree. I LOVE my Vox, but I am not quite willing to recommend it to people yet. I am ambitious and am willing to accept some troubleshooting in the beginning without too many complaints. I don't know how many other people I know that are like this. You can be sure that once this thing definitely runs smoothly, I'll be exclaiming its benefits from the mountain tops!

Ditto...I know very few people who would even come to a forum like this, if they had problems - let alone troubleshoot them if they found solutions. They'd sooner return their device and get something that worked...
