Some more thoughts. I've been reading the Washington Post because there is a free 6 Month trial. When the text is small, you can really tell the screen resolution isn't high. What would be very readable on my iPhone isn't so nice on the Fire 7. However, when I read an article full screen, and the font is larger, it's just fine for reading.
So I guess the fact that I don't like reading tiny text anyway works in my favor.
Reading novels in landscape with two columns worked well for me. The 7 is a nice size for reading novels.
Not fond of the 16:9 aspect ratio for reading the web. And typing forums posts is unbearable. Then again, I've never liked Android keyboards compared to iOS.
For TV and Movies the size of the screen and aspect ratio are very nice.
Still, while "for $50" this is a fantastic tablet....I think it falls into "additional device" and "extremely price sensitive" options as a reader.
