On my HDX 2013 with black text on a white background the blue border is very faint and hardly noticeable. With white text on a black background, there is NO blue border at all.

Amazon loyalists should definitely buy the HDX 2013 and / or PW 2013 to read Amazon eBooks since all their songs and apps come from Amazon as well as all their consumer goods and electronics.

The OP is an Apple loyalist and the iPad Mini would suit him best since he already is buying iBooks, iTunes and iApps.

Those with Android smart phones would be best suited with a Nexus 7 since their apps are coming from the Google Play Store already.

Most of the debates here on which brands are better are really without a solution since each brand loyalist should stick to his own brand. Changing away from one's base brand WILL cause problems which are really unnecessary since all these eReaders are equally good for the most part.
