I give a third vote to the Nexus 7 (2013). Very affordable, high quality, great for reading with it's 1920x1200 screen. And it is pretty holdable: very thin, about 10 oz., and very narrow if you want to hold it like a phone. There is not much bezel on the right and left so holding it by the sides (like you might with a book, where one hand holds the bottom and one holds the side, or both hold the sides) is not the easiest thing ever... but it is still doable.
