I also do use the night mode when my spouse is sleeping and I have no lights on in the bedroom. I find that the Night Mode does allow you to read in a totally darkened environment. Wonderful…she gets to sleep.. A great feature! Thank you, Kobo! My mini review is that for a dedicated colour eReader that also has main-line plus Tablet functions and user experience, this Kobo Vox has absolutely MORE than met my expectations, and am simply thrilled with the unit. But having taken that few hours or days…it is rewarded with such a sweet and satisfying operation and experience.

I can only wait for and expect firmware improvements and tweaks from the Kobo Development Team in the ongoing weeks and months since RTM.

This from a reviewer? I dismissed the trashing review on that basis alone, quite frankly. To end here….. Yes…I have the Kindle, B and N…all of them. I have had no problems downloading and installing any of the recommended apps from Good eReader. Truly…am having a ball with the unit.

eBooks & Digital Audiobooks

I hope others get their Vox birth pangs figured out. Does anyone know how to add public library books to the kobo vox? Hi, Have you been able to add public library ebooks to your vox? Any suggestions? I am loving mine, until this morning when I purchased and downloaded an instructional book and the images are showing up as?

All other images are fine and I have had no problems with the Vox. I was attracted to a unit with colour so that I could read magazines. Being able to get email and browse the internet are a basic neccesity. I have a 2nd Generation Kindle but the Vox appeared to offer everything I needed as well as being available in Canada- unlike Kindle Fire.

All the positive reviews sealed the deal so I decided to switch brands and purchase a Kobo Vox. I was absolutely delighted with the Kobo as an e-reader. My satisfaction began to errode on the second day when I began to prepare for a trip by attempting to launch apps and magazines. My first Vox had to be returned for an exchange as it kept displaying error annuncements that flashed off and on before I was able to read them. The exchange was smooth and I appreciated the Kobo assist on the phone and at the Chapters Store. I had NO internet connections on the Kobo for the entire trip.

Navigation menu

I was unable to check news or download any books. Ironically I ended up using the experimental browser feature on my Kindle to check email. The Kindle connected to wifi consistently. Just find your library…connect, type in your library card PIN…and have at it. Another tip…when at home, just use an extension cord along with your Vox charger, and keep your Vox plugged in as you would your laptop as you use it to surf or read. If at home…use the wall socket! Do you need an app or does it not support it? And by work I mean, do I have to convert them I would prefer not to?

If no conversion is required, are there lagging, glitching issues when viewing pdfs? Thanks for the well thought out review.

Kobo Vox eBook Reader Review

Since having purchased my unit on Oct. Found all to date! I have not had one single problem with my Vox. Truthfully…not one.

My personal M. No matter where, it gets plugged in, with the result of no battery usage. Again, no problems of any kind with being plugged in whilst in use. If I am not going to be using it for a day or longer…I do in fact unplug it from the wall. The charging circuit than can rest and last.

Read a book, take a pause, kick into the mags, newspapers…. I have had absolutely no trouble whatsoever in connecting to the Net pretty much anywhere I park my behind. You would not believe how many persons have totally open and unsecured Wi-Fi. Even when I can hook up with a coffee shop that has an open hot spot for customers , you can still poll on the Vox and due to its sensitivity….

The unit is very sensitive. To give you an example…. I was about a half mile from a known hot spot source inside a factory that has this for their employees in the lunch room.

Believe it or not…there I was happily surfing away…. Have fun with yours!

Amazon's Kindle Fire

I have downloaded a book from my local library onto my desk. I have tried Adobe Digital Edition but this will not recognize my Vox. I have downloaded Overdrive but that does not have the book in it to download. I have Overdrive downloaded on my Vox but that does not do anything. Is there anyway of getting the book form my laptop to my Vox? Is there a right answer? I have not been successful downaaod from Overdrive on my Vox, did it all the time on my touch I even purchased a micro SD card since it would not go directly to my Vox. Even with these recentt issues I am a big fan.

Ay idea what I might be doing wrong? You might wish to then query Kobo about using the Overdrive app on their reader. As for not being able to use the Vox while plugged in…this should not in any way being plugged in interfere with your operating the Vox. I have been doing it from purchase-day one. I think you might have a corrupted firmware in operation…and would suggest you contact a kobo rep to have them run you through a reapplication of the initial set-up routine.
