Kudos to Google for taking the lead in screen resolution for 7-8" devices. If you read on a color lcd screen as I do, then resolution really does make a big difference. The new 7" Nexus should make for a marvelous e-reader.
And shame on both Apple and Samsung for lagging so far behind in this size category. I'm really surprised at Samsung since they are a major manufacturer of LCD screens. So they should have no problems getting their hands on any high-res screen they wanted. They have no excuse.
The only knock on Google is the continuing lack of a card slot. But since they are keeping their prices low, then that somewhat mitigates the oversight.
