Which Tablet

A while ago i was wondering whetherr to go to a ebook reader v. a tablet. I've decided on a tablet mostly because i tend to do stuff in unlit/poorly lit areas and wanted to get video playback with my cruncyroll membership. The only real advantage ereaderss have as far as i can tell at this point is battery life (i'm kind of dubious about the eyestrain thing because i get eye strain reading books).

So here's my criteria

Must:
  • 7: minimum screensize
  • good streaming 720p video playback
  • atleast 6.5~hrs battery
  • atlest wifi
Preferred:
  • free 3g - if it has 3g, i don't want/can't afford to pay
  • not needing to root the dev nice to get full access to google's app store
  • touchscreen - non-resisrtive (i have had bad results with them long-terrm use)
I don't want any apple device and i've heard the Nook Color doesn't do video playback well from a store rep, but that was obviously a non-rooted nook so i don't know if its just their poor programing or truely poor cpu.

It should go without saying, but i'd prefer to pay less, but I don't need to have an extremely cheap tablet

Probably other stuff here, but for manga reading, i can just download an app.
