I seriously doubt the iPad mini will be discounted on Friday.
I have no trouble reading on the mini, but others who may or may not have used the device have complained about the resolution. I wouldn't recommend it for just reading though, my e-ink Kindle Keyboard is still my preferred eReader. |

I doubt that the iPad Mini will be discounted on Friday, too. Apple is pretty notorious for NOT discounting any of their items until a newer version is released and I don't think that will happen any time soon.
Right now, I use my iPhone 4S for reading and I've asked Santa for a white Mini for Christmas... and I've been a very very very good girl... Honest!!! Hey... Stop laughing! Shykat |

For a basic e-ink reader, I really like my basic Kindle ($69 black). It has a very sharp text and an excellent e-reader. For night time reading, I use my iPad mini. It's also my go to tablet for traveling.

I'm not familiar with this source so I do not know their track record but I definitely enjoyed this read:

I enjoy reading on mine too. Although if you don't like the HD, I don't know... |

That is why I got the Nexus 7. It is terrific for reading. However, I do fully expect to get a Mini when/if it has a retina screen. I love, love, love my iPad 3 but not for serious reading.

What good are specs if the device doesn't run the apps I might want? I did research a Nexus 7 because I didn't want to spend the extra unnecessarily. Whilst I found a lot of apps did have android equivalents there were some gaps I couldn't get round. There's a lot of value in having a good app ecosystem.

Unrelated: are you a Tove Jansson fan? If so, what would you recommend of his?

That said, I'm rooting for Android and Microsoft for those who can't and to provide competitive benefits for everyone. I'm sorry that HP helped kill the Palm ecosystem. The webOS was excellent. |

My opinion of webOS is coloured slightly by having to use an original Pre as my work phone. It was really bad, I think it had more to do with the hardware not being fast enough though. |
