It means not that I have at least one pure android device in the house which is good for certain apps I wanted. But mostly I didn't want to deal with the possible blue frame around the HDX and the variation of such.

I have actually been reading only on my Nexus since I got it pretty much. I even read kindle books on it with the kindle app. I did get the Moon + app but got quite overwhelmed with all the settings that I had to set it aside a bit. I find the kindle app to be quite good, although not as full screen as the Scribd app is.
I have read 4 books on it so far since I got it, 2 through Scribd and 2 kindle books.

No Man's Bride - Shana Galen (4 stars)
Savage Horizons - Rosanne Bittner (4 stars)
An Heir of Uncertainty - Alyssa Everett (4 stars)
Wicked as they Come - Delilah S. Dawson (4 stars)

The last one was absolutely insane. . I had wanted to read that one for a while and I was ecstatic when I saw it on Scribd. Unfortunately the next in series is only available for purchase on Scribd. I am talking about the next full book, there are a couple of shorts in between but I don't like reading shorts. But they are on Scribd at least, maybe I'll try to read them anyway. They are 100 pages each.

So I am glad I listened to Blossom, so thank you Blossom.

I still will read on my e-ink kindles. Especially when I sit out on my balconies. But I wanted to test out for a week to only read on my Nexus and if it bothered my eyes in any way and just to make sure the device works good when used on a continuous basis.

I have not had any issues with my eyes and I much prefer the evenness of the Nexus in low light conditions over my splotchy milky Paperwhite. I have the 1st generation and its always been splotchy. And when I turn the light up, the contrast goes to the dogs. Like the font is more of a dark grey. It fine in daytime, but I actually prefer my basic kindle then over the PW. Much more clear and better contrast and none of that window effect.
You're quite welcome and if you need help with Moon+ just ask.
I never really care for my paperwhite in the dark though it has no spotches the front light hurts my eyes.

You can also read library books on your Nexus 7. There's the Overdrive app or you can use Mantano or Aldiko for Library books that have ADE DRM on them. I prefer Mantano but it really depends on the library book's formatting which way I read it.
