I just stumbled across a new color ereader and media player at Sears, the Slick 50. At $49 it is one of the least expensive 7″ color ereaders available. It doesn’t have any bells or whistles and looks about as cheap as the price would suggest, but the two reviews are positive, if they are […]

Kobo Vox Review Part 1 (Video)
Here’s the link to the first installment of the Kobo Vox review. My Kobo Vox finally arrived at the end of last week. It had some major issues when it showed up that would have caused most people to return it or exchange it, but I’m used to troubleshooting Android devices so after triggering a […]

An email from Kobo turned up in my spam folder a couple of hours ago proclaiming the delay of the Kobo Vox. The Vox was supposed to start shipping on October 28th, but now it won’t be going out until November 7th. That’s interesting because they’ve already started selling them in a number of stores […]

Given the specs and features, it looks like Kobo’s new toy will provide stiff competition against both of those, in fact. The Kobo Vox has a 7″ color screen that Kobo boasts as being optimized for […]
