A lot of tablet opinions on here. Mine is not yet represented (after 6 hours) so here it is. Yes I had the Nexus 7's, too slow and too small. The tablet you want is an 8 inch tablet for reading books, storing music and play lists (VLC of course), and browsing the web or reading books lying on your sofa. The best tablet at the moment that fits the bill is the ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 Z580C-B1-BK for $275 USD (newegg.com). Why? The screen is excellent at 2048x1536 pixels. Speed is fast enough to keep you happy. 2G of RAM and 32G of storage with option of SD card to max out for your music and movies. (Asus has a lot of cheaper tablets with low resolution screens so be careful to get the right one.) If you go for this tablet be sure to google to find out how to increase the Android version. It's a bit tricky but doable and worth it.
