I haven't had much sunlight around here lately to do a test, but the Fire has an adjustable screen brightness that seems to range from Oh Wow Turn that Down!!!! to Squinty eye can barely see it. I turn it up bright for movies and then down to read - no complaints so far in that regard. It'll probably be March until I can comment on outside and sunny reading useability.

I don't know much about the Vox other than all the grumblings I heard about their shipping.

Please note that JWolfe is kind of (in)famous around here for parking himself on the Kindle section and jumping into every thread to trash the line of products. As far as I can tell, he doesn't actually own any of them and I'm not sure he's ever even tried any of them out, he just hates Amazon.

So far I've put Overdrive, nook Android, and Aldiko on my Fire. I doubt I'll mess with the Kobo App or the Sony App because they just aren't my preferred ways to read books. I imagine they probably install just fine though.
