I love reading on the Vox! I find the weight isn't much different than my Nook eReader in its case. I've increased the weight slightly by adding a Bookstyle cover from Chapters but find that it is now much easier to get a good gasp on the Vox.
Since I do most of my reading in bed, I usually have the Kobo settings in night mode with the brightness down as low as possible. This makes it really pleasant to read from. I even read it outdoors today while on my ferry commute to work and it preformed admirably. It gets slightly reflective, which can be annoying in brighter lights (outdoors, or in my office for example).
My one slight frustration is that the Kobo app can't lock in portrait. I'm hoping an update will rectify this. That being said, I do find that I am able to tilt the Vox quite a bit before it actually rotates to landscape mode, so this makes reading in bed a little less annoying.
