Kobo tablet goes on sale at Best Buy

article published on 16 February, 2012

Kobo has announced it will sell its Vox tablet in Best Buy stores in the U.S. The tablet currently competes with the Kindle Fire in the 7-inch category which may already put the tablet in an un-winnable situation.

From what I can tell it has the same $200 price tag & basically does all the same web stuff that the Fire does, but I didn't see anything regarding streaming movies or additional playback features for say music of spoken novels at all; even from Kobo's website.

Other than having the choice of instant gratification & the option of test driving one of these devices before you buy, I don't see a reason to buy this one over the Fire. Amazon's order would still be tax free & that could save you around $25.

Then there's the fact of plenty of 'jailbreaks' out there for the tinkering crowd if that's something you want to do & frankly Kobo's books have been getting higher than a cat's ass here as of recently. Amazon will still run a nice sale a lot of the time. Not to mention their Free App of the Day. Yes I know, it's hit & miss, but I've gotten a bunch of good apps by paying attention.

It's something to consider.
