The iPad mini with its lower 162 ppi resolution (compared to the Fire HD at 216 ppi) and higher price tag of $329 for 16GB (compared to the Fire HD at $199) just didn't appeal to me as a viable option for something I would use mostly as a reader. I'm very happy with my iPad3 and really see no need to take a huge step down in resolution just to be able to hold it more comfortably while reading. If I didn't already own the iPad3 then it would be an attractive alternative as I definitely like iOS better than Android.
