4:3 is better too, especially if you read landscape 2 column.

This has been exactly my experience. I'm not an Apple fanboi (actually somewhat to the contrary). I can get any device I want and am not a platform loyalist, I just like to get nice hardware. The new Ipad Mini to me, was a significant bump upward in reading experience on a tablet. This was due mainly to the hardware, and secondarily to the iOS platform and app ecosystem. The Ipads aren't very wallet friendly, but it's the best reading experience I've had with ebooks and now my Kindle and phone don't get used for reading unless the Ipad is unavailable.
