To each his own, I suppose. Personally, I'm a relatively slow reader and read for enjoyment, not to rack up statistics or compete with others or myself. I find Reading Life an annoyance. Even though I have it turned off, that dumb window shade still keeps coming down at the most inopportune times when scrolling.
To me the Vox is also primarily a reader with bells and whistles. I do agree that the reader app should have all the features of all the readers out there so there would be no need to install any third party readers like Aldiko, or even Overdrive or Kindle Reader. I do like the fact that the Vox reader can access the built-in dictionary and doesn't need WiFi turned on like the others, but I wish the Merriam Webster wasn't the only choice. I wonder how much users outside North America like it?
