I have to agree that it's not as ideal as the e-ink screens. What I liked about the Kobo's before was the e-ink screens but though I wanted one was never tempted enough to buy it. I just played with them while at work and sold lots with the very line that they're really easy on the eyes, as a person who can't read too long off of the computer screen I'd been able to read for hours at work (when they first came out) on the kobo.
That said, even though I loved that fact I convinced myself to not get one of those but the Vox. It is mainly because of the tablet features I wanted it though. I was too poor for any other high-end tablet that this really stuck and convinced myself on a whim to buy it, not even a week ago.
Reading on the Vox isn't so bad I think really, I prefer reading in 'night' mode all the time as I find that's easier on my eyes than the harsh white background that is day mode. There's much less eyestrain this way and I like it. I don't much regret the purchase, after following the guides and posts here I got it set up nicely with only one small annoying glitch - randomly making noise like getting a message but getting nothing.
