I used an eInk reader for a year and thoroughly loved the eInk experience. So very easy on the eyes, but needing a reading light was a hassle (I didn't read paper books in low light previous to owning an ereader).
The Vox, with the Reader app brightness set to almost 0, I find to be acceptable as a reader in low light situations, and I brighten it slightly in regular light. I managed to find that a low setting made the Reader similar in readability (as well as grayish in colour and contrast similar to eInk) without any eye strain. I found the "Night mode" intolerable as the white text on a black background was like needles in my eyes (not to mention that this colour reversal is distinctly unnatural compared to regular books).
I'm glad I'm finding the Vox a suitable reader in all lighting situations as it allows me to use the Vox as both a colour tablet and as an ereader, and eliminates the book light.
