While the Nexus 7.2 with Moon+ Pro is superior, there is still a glare, and thus, still inferior to the lighted e-ink screen.
I agree with Birdlover6 on this--for fiction reading, I almost always turn to my e-ink devices. I do from occasion, read on my iPad, but in most lighting situations the glare is very noticable to me and I spend a lot of time finding an angle for the iPad that reduces the glare.

Now, there are definitely occasions when the iPad is my preferred device--reading magazines and some non-fiction pdfs with maps or diagrams--being able to zoom in easily like Cymole points out is a definite advantage of tablets.
