I like your post....but I must impose on a comment or two.... or one.. My Partner has an Ipad III and I have a Nexus 10....Though the nexus 10 is a bit old in today's market... I reckon it would do well against most tablets in performance, etc....
for ereading... the Ipad mini and nexus 7 are both excellent..

I {as a hobbyist programmer since 3rd grade, professional Software Engineer for 20 years, Linux user since 1994 (except for when work requires otherwise), Apple hater since the Mac SE (who finally gave up the anti-apple-religion), and generally tech savvy person} will only buy an iPhone (given the current state of affairs), and I carry it in an ugly case as I don't care who sees it or doesn't.
Why? Because it "just works", works well, fits my needs, and is generally high quality both in hardware, OS, and the apps.
I had an Android phone as my first smartphone... hated it. My daughter has an Android phone w/ KitKat... it's much better, but I still wouldn't want it. I have an Android Tablet... nobody will use it, we all fight over who gets to use the much older iPad.
