So everything is a tradeoff.
But if Amazon ecosystem is not important, don't get a Fire. The Nexus is perfectly great and not more expensive.
If I were forced to take one for free I probably would go with the mini, because the apps are usually better, especially as you pursue special interests.

I believe the mini has a better screen ratio for reading too. Not saying I want one but I read that somewhere. Sometimes the higher the resolution isn't the best for reading although the extra ppi does help on text rendering.
