My expectation is that it'll be used for web browsing, reading books to my son (usually he prefers paper books, but I have a few Kindle books that he likes), and e-mail.

The Vox is perfect for those uses - especially reading to your son!
There are lot good apps for kids out there as well that run fine on the Vox. If your phone is android and has Google Play access, you can transfer free apps from your phone to the Vox.

I hear you! Having twins means no hand-me-down clothes for the kids!
Having watched other people spend money cheap tablets and outgrow them quickly, then spend more money on a tablet that does what they want makes me cautious. It's kind of like Terry Pratchetts Boots theory:

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”
