I have the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire.

A bonus of the Kindle Fire is the battery life. It seems to be better than the Nexus 7 (I need to measure this).

One problem with the N7 (an otherwise fantastic device), I can't get the screen dim enough for reading in a dark room.

The screen always seems too bright even on the lowest setting.

So I still use my Fire for night time reading and taking to the Gym.

Perhaps that is why the battery of the Fire seems to last longer (I need to check the devices when I get home).

While the fire is clunky, tt gets the job done.

I just can't believe how good a $200 tablet can be (first the Fire was good enough, then the Nexus 7 which as just short of amazing)



Regarding screen brightness at night, you could give this a try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor
