If all you need are ebooks and videos, these should be more than fine (the Fire at least, don't have experience with Nooks). Their aspect ratio actually lends itself better for videos compared to the iPad's 4:3 AR.

That said, the iPad feels like a better middle ground between smartphone and laptop. I think Android devs have pretty much given up on Android tablets. At home, I rarely use my laptop anymore. Most of my personal computing is done on the iPad.
