I suppose that's when most people get their new devices.

I keep returning to the Kobo section because I keep looking for a new firmware release.
I am kind disssapointed of the Kobo Touch even regret for having bought. The battery life is shorter than my other e-readers, try w/wo airplane mode doesn't change a thing. There is no battery indicator while reading books, so when the battery is deplected, it simply turn off and request to be charge. Even the speed is slower than my 4 years old sony prs700. The touch screen responsiveness is a kind of guessing game, will it turned the page instanously or in a few secondes. The multiple bookmarks are not available for epub, only on kepub. There is no "go to page", I have to slide section by section then page per page until I reach the page I wanted. There is no folder/selections/selves option, books and photo are mixed-up altogether in "one" view. Hope the multiple bookmarks for epub will be available on the next firmware release soon. With a touch screen, the current last page read can easily get lost if you are not the sole reader (My toddlers played with the reader). Now I forbid them to touch the KT |

Strange.. I have NO issues at all with battery life; I tend to read a lot each day and can easily go a week or two without recharging.

It seems because there are so many issues with the Vox. That's too bad.

That is no doubt part of it, but a big part is people reading, sharing, and learning about apps that folks might like to install and some basic Android how-to--especially people new to Android. Then there are the people who visit the forums just to see what folks are saying, people who don't own a Kobo product and are curious.

I've asked some questions because I was baffled. My questions are answered, my Vox is stable and running well. I might throw on a new browser to see if it's better. But I'm happy with the Vox. |

As far as page turning goes that seems to me to be just fine. I'm wondering if it's someone not registering your tapping/swiping. |

I'm visiting here frequently just to keep up with what's happening with Kobo wi-fi and kobo touch, so I'll have a better idea which one to buy when I finally give up the kobo original.
My kobo original is still doing okay, so I'm still reading, not upgrading yet. |

winsomnia, I much prefer the Touch to the WiFi as the page turns are much faster.
