big disappointment

By ALLISON

from VANCOUVER

Bronze Reviewer

I am very disappointed in my purchase.
The vox is extremely slow.
It would not allow me to load all of my e-books I purchased from all stores, it would only allow me to load KOBO bought ebooks.
it would not allow me to read from an SD card
Tech support was non-existent
I will not purchase from KOBO again.

Not worth it

By Advid reader

from Windsor, Ontario

I already own a Kobo touch and love it. I thought I would upgrade to the Vox, what a mistake. The Vox took too long to download my library, it ran out of battery life before download was complete. Library isn't easy to navigate ie. doesn't have seach so you have to scroll down library to find book (if you have a large number of books in your library that's alot of scrolling and you end up opening unwanted books)
It's heavy and short battery life. I hope I can return it!

LOVE my KOBO

By Sophie

from Orillia, Ontario

Bronze Reviewer

I am an avid book reader and was not really interested in "electronic" reading. After much hesitation I ended up purchasing the KOBO and I LOVE IT! What is really great is you do not have to keep pages open like a traditional book so it is much easier to read in bed or on the beach etc!
Another feature I LOVE is that you have access to any kind of reading at all. There is a huge selection of free e books, magazines, even daily newspapers…local library rentals as well! You can literally carry "tons" of books in this little e-reader everywhere you go.
I have had no technical problems at all and it was so super easy to set up and start reading.

Amazing product – so glad I purchased one! Feel like I have a world's entire library at my fingertips

My second Kobo Vox from TSC

By plais

from Ajax, Ontario

Silver Reviewer

I bought the Kobo Vox when it first appeared on TSC to replace an earlier e-reader. The Vox is so much easier to use and navigate. The instruction manual is well written, with clear, concise information on how to navigate the e-reader and the staff at Kobo answer any additional questions within 24 hours by email. They have great service! I love my pink Kobo so much I just ordered a blue one for my husband.
