Just a quick question. I have been looking for a new device that I can read books, magazines and the like. I have been torn between Kobo, Nook and Kindle, but I have had people suggest to me the Google Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

So my big question is: Is the content you get from the app stores (Kindle store, Kobo store, etc) the same as the content you get from a dedicated tablet from each respective company? For example, if I buy a Google Nexus 7 or a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, would the Kindle and Kobo apps give me access to the same number of books and magazines that the dedicated readers would?

A big factor in my decision lies in the content available to each tablet.
