People pleased with the battery are probably coming from laptop reading. My Macbook gets 4 hours of heavy web surfing and about 6 hours if just reading. I have to plug it in every night before bed so would never even notice it an issue plugging in the Vox.
Did you like the screen image it presented compared to your Wireless when reading?
The screen image on the Vox was another thing I didn't really like for reading purposes. I found the screen to be kind of hard on the eyes after coming from an e-ink screen, even after turning the backlight way down.
