So is Lookout giving me added battery life or is the icon failing to accurately read the battery level now? Any one else made this same observation?

I had it installed from day one of purchase, and the battery icon will go down to the needs-recharging after about 6-7 hours for myself, so...I'd imagine that you are seeing a savings in that something is wrong with the software, and for some reason this program makes 'calls' to the O.S. that illegitimately 'corrects' any one or two issues. This is just an opinion and not given with authority, but mere reasoning. Your battery icon will go down, and not all of a sudden show ample power...but your Vox shuts down. This has been my experience from Oct.28th....
Edit afterthought: I put my Vox to sleep last night around 10:30 (22:30), in Airplane Mode, with a fully charged battery, and just pressed the on/off/sleep button once. Pressing it once in the morning, the lock screen came up with no problems and the battery icon showed green to the main battery body with only used-white showing at the battery 'positive' nipple. It was in sleep mode between 22:30 and 05:00 for 6 1/2 hours. Not bad at all. I think that after another O.S. update things will settle down with most birth-pang user issues. Kobo is surely monitoring all forum traffic.....
