*CAPTURING THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE *

Building on the industry leading social platform, Reading Life, users can now choose to connect with friends or create book clubs and discuss their favorite reads on Facebook, track their reading statistics, and unlock fun and exciting awards just for reading. The recent innovation of Kobo Pulse^(TM) takes social reading to a new level - readers can feel the pulse of a book, start conversations, share comments and thoughts and leave reviews by 'Liking' and/or commenting, real-time, with others who are reading the same book. Kobo Pulse provides the ultimate source for book recommendations, as the suggestions come from friends and like-minded readers whose opinions and interests are similar and trusted.

As the first eReading platform to be integrated with Facebook Ticker and Timeline, Kobo Vox enables further reading discovery and entertainment. Now "The End" of a book is never the end.
