As a result... I have just ordered one - only $200 with tax & next-day delivery.

I was a little hesitant switching from an e-reader to a tablet but what possibly tipped the scales in favor of this particular model and made me place the order without further ado was the aspect ratio of the screen. I might have been tempted by their newer and considerably pricier Nexus 6 (a phone rather than a tablet) ... but its 16:9 ratio with projected use in vertical portrait mode (especially with such a small screen) is a no-no where I am concerned.
I hope you'll be happy with the Nexus 7. I like mine a lot, although I don't use it much as a reader. Permit me to point out, though, that like most Android tablets, the N7 has a 16:10 aspect ratio screen. It's not 4:3, like the iPad and most eInk devices are.
