Kobo Vox (it's in COLOUR!) has just been released - retails at 199.

I'm really digging the looks/reviews of this toy. I don't have an ereader yet - but I think this is the one I will get. It looks FANTASTIC.
Things about it I think are cool:
1 - Kobo is Canadian.
2 - cheaper than the Nook Color. So there.
3 - Has an AFFS+ (advanced fringe field switching plus) screen, which is apparently used on technology in fighter planes. Basically it means "you can see the screen outside in the daylight" - which is pretty amazing.
4 - The "Pulse" social feature is kind of a virtual bookclub intergrated into the book itself. You can see how popular a book is, how many people are reading it at that moment, discuss the book, etc. It's apparently the most advanced/useful/fun "social" feature on any ereader thus far.
5 - Their own android app store! And they are all FREE. So there.
6 - You can view books from other devices on Kobo and vice versa - which not all ereaders support.
I think I might buy this for myself soonish.
