Best of all is the Kindle Fire HDX 2013 with MAYDAY. Neither the Nexus 7 or the iPad mini have that feature. It connects the user instantly to Tech Support with a video picture of the support person who can operate your unit and show you the intricate details of operation. For novice, non-techies, that feature, alone, makes the HDX 2013 the best.
I use the PW 2013 to read in bright light and the HDX 2013 to read in low light and for its apps and music, all from Amazon.
However, the OP is used to iPads and should go for the iPad mini to be comfortable with the new unit and can use all his Apple Apps, songs and iBooks on it.
Nexus 7 is good as well but really only for non-Apple and non-Amazon loyalists.
