For reading 7" is a lot more convenient, in my opinion.

Google Nexus 7 is really hard to beat when it comes to bang for bucks!

Having said that, I got two 16GB Nook Tablets to prepare for friends last week. Bought for around $120 each. Rooting them really couldn't be easier! Burn a SD card, pop it in, reboot, a couple of clicks and you're done! I even did the repartioning to 8GB data them myself. If I can do it anyone can! I still run stock on one of them but with the rooting I can install Google apps and sideload whatever I want. The other I run CM10 from an sd card. That is really easy to do as well, but not really "necessary". I only did that for fun...
