One reason I would stick with iPad is that all the Android tablets I have ever seen are in 16:9 aspect ratio. To me, that isn't as comfortable for reading. It feels too tall and skinny when held in portrait mode, and I've never enjoyed reading in landscape mode.

The Nexus 7 makes this psychologically even worse for me by having thich bezels on the top and bottom which make it seem even more tall and skinny.

This is especially noticeable when reading things like comics or magazines which take advantage of tablets' colour screens and fast CPUs.
