Yep. I've use my Nexus 7 primarily as a reading device. I have over 4000 books on it, and they use 3.5GB out of the 29GB of available storage. It may be a factor if you want to load your device with video, but certainly not for books.
It's less of an issue for the iPad where you can - if your pockets are sufficiently deep - have up to 128GB of storage.
As I noted earlier in this thread, the latest incarnation of Android (Kit Kat) has made SD cards almost useless for general-purpose storage. An app can now only access its own app-specific folder on an SD card.
