I bought and prefer the Nexus 7 to the iPad Mini simply because it fits in my jacket and coat pockets. I've had and enjoyed iPhones and iPads in the past, so this was not a step I took lightly.
The most used application on any of my hand-held devices is the Kindle.app. I quite like reading on the Nexus 7 in portrait orientation. It doesn't feel too skinny.

- jasonlotito 13y agoOf all my jackets/coats, only one has a pocket larger enough for an iPad Mini. That's where the Nexus 7 beats out the iPad.
- officemonkey 13y agoAll this talk about fitting in pockets reminds me of Jeff Hawkins, the inventor of the Pilot, who was said to carry a block of wood in his shirt pocket while developing the device. I know the "pocket test" is one of the reasons why the original iPod was better than the Rio Nomad and other 1st gen hard drive based MP3 players.

- mirsadm 13y agoI manage to use the Nexus 7 (2013) with one hand. I had a Nexus 10 before and it was barely used. The Nexus 7 gets used for hours almost every day.
