Having now owned a larger Android device than a phone, I can say the system itself is designed for a small screen, such as a phone. The user interface on a 7" device is still quite lacking. I found my finger had to dance all over the screen to complete simple procedures... not a problem with a 3" screen but kind of ridiculous when using larger real estate.

As a system for ebook reading, I prefer Windows CE and other custom systems. So far, Android has been my least favorite way of reading ebooks, but perhaps it will keep improving. My advice is to wait.
