Kobo has long been happy to position itself as the [underdog](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/09/the-engadget-interview-kobos-michael-serbinis/) in the e-reader race, a spin that's based on more than a few grains of truth. After all, what else should this small Canadian company call itself after years of going head to head with giants like Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Sony? In spite of its perceived disadvantages, though, it's remained competitive with products like the [eReader Touch Edition](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/13/kobo-ereader-touch-edition-review/), a device that matched the[Nook](http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/01/barnes-and-noble-nook-wifi-review/) and [Kindle](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/03/amazon-kindle-review-2011/) feature-for-feature.
Now, the company is attempting to pull off a similar feat with the Vox, its first entry in the tablet space -- and a clear shot across the bow at a couple low-cost slates from [Amazon](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/14/amazon-kindle-fire-review/) and [Barnes & Noble](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/21/barnes-and-noble-nook-tablet-review/). Can the e-reader David pull off an upset against a couple of Goliaths this go 'round, or have the company's limited resources finally gotten the better of it? Watch the battle unfold before your eyes, after the break.**Gallery: [Kobo Vox review](http://www.engadget.com/photos/kobo-0/)**
