I had both! still own the mini. The mini wins by far! I will tell you why.
Even though the Nexus is a nice device with nice screen resolution, the mini has a better or more suitable screen size for ebooks AND PDfs, at least IMO.
The Nexus is 7", so you get less reading area and that can be distracting when reading PDF documents. Using pure text ebooks is ok on the Nexus 7.
The other reason why I sold my Nexus was the lack of 4G. I wanted a dual purpose device and the Nexus can't be both. No wifi, no connectivity, period. That was a deal breaker for me and one of the main reason why I sold it.
In terms of glare, LCD devices are not recommended for reading outside. It may work for you, but the glare is so high that makes reading difficult; that's when an eink devices shines, i.e Kindle Paperwhite.
I would say, if you do not read PDFs, do not care about 4G, go for the Nexus.
The mini is more expensive but it feels sturdy, gives awesome battery life and can do much more.
