Kobo Vox tablet, $200, to take on Kindle Fire, Nook Color - latimes.com
Kobo began taking pre-orders for the Vox on Wednesday as well, and the specs are similar to what Nook Color or Kindle Fire users might find in their tablets.
The Vox has a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 that is covered in an anti-glare coating that Kobo said will make the tablet better suited for outdoor reading.
It also has 8 gigabytes of built-in storage memory and a microSD card slot that can handle up to 32-gigabyte cards, as well as an 800-megahertz processor and 512 megabytes of RAM.
Like the Kindle Fire and Nook Color, the Vox is Wi-Fi only.
