However, if you want a machine with more storage, you're out of luck with the Nexus, while with the iPad you have options for 64GB or 128GB.
My two primary tablets are an 128GB iPad mini and 128GB iPad air. I started off with an iPad 1 and bought an Amazon fire when it first came out. Those two form factors work for me, I used the fire for reading at lunch and the iPad 1 for reading normally. I upgraded to the iPad 2 when the retina display came out (big, big difference), then got an iPad mini when they came out since the apps selection for the fire for the apps that I wanted was pretty bad and most of those apps lacked a professional polish. I upgraded to the two that I have now this last spring, mostly for the extra memory for media (internet can be a bit spotty at times).
