diremommy, you are so right, the Nexus 7 is great with a lovely screen and just the right size to hold in a hand comfortably. I have two at the moment and have just ordered a third because I read that they are being discontinued. The quality of the Nexus 7 and it's specs still make it, for me, one of the best tablets in the market, never mind that it is over three years old.
I have a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 which I received as a gift and while the screen is spectacular, the increase in size makes it a little uncomfortable to hold in a hand to read.
So my recommendation would be to buy another Nexus 7 while stocks last.
