But after so many years and several tablets, I keep going back to the iPad (for non eink, I still prefer eink as main technology for ebooks). I even bought the iPad3 recently. While not as portable as Nexus 7, Kindle Fire or new Nook HD, it has plenty of power and resolution to read from Kindle for iOs and PDFs via GoodReader.
And with Kindle PW coming, I will ... again ... have a super reading combo at home! Which makes me re-evaluate what reading gap the Nexus 7 will be fulfilling, if one.

Sounds like you could of saved yourself some money if you just wanted a ebook reader then.
Why not have more for a change when so many company's are trying to sell you far less in there products for more money or the same amount.
I would say your in the minority when i comes to just using your nexus as a ebook reader when it's more than capable of doing so many different things.But thats what good about a fully speced tablet because you can choose what you use it for.
I use my nexus 7 for things like -
navigating while traveling ,tracking the distances,time taken,calories burnt when i go out for my evening walks each night ,ebook reading ,playing games,streaming movies and tv episodes from websites like NETFLIX,CATCHUP TV,BBC IPLAYER & others.
Talking to friends face to face thousands of miles away via skype.Finding new places to eat or go for a drink using google maps search.
Web browsing when im away from my PC ,streaming movies from my pc to the Nexus,keeping in touch will my friends across the world via yahoo hotmail,AOL ,facebook as well as keeping on top of my business emails.
Picking up single women on -plenty of fish ,baboo and date in Asia
All these extras you dont use are used by others on a day to day basis ,including me
The whole point of a true tablet is that its a multi-function device and the more gadgets there are inside it the more roles it can perform which the nexus 7 can do and some lesser tablets cant like the - kindle fire HD ,barns buster HD.
