It looks a nice device, Android 4.1 is definitely a plus so it has the
latest and this version seems to a be a good one to me.

I would say the downside is more the screen size and type. If you are
looking for an e-book reader, it is much better to go for an e-ink type
screen in my opinion. Also I would go for bigger screen, 9-10". As the top
quality of these devices if you go to your local Apple store and look at
the iPad 3 retina display for an hour, you will not want to go back to
another type of LCD screens, it is that good. In addition to the screen
there are much more apps for iPad than Android tablets, and battery life is
better (this is where Apple devices are almost unbeatable whether it is
MacBook or iDevices). More expensive though.

If you still thinking about that Nexus 7, you may can also consider Samsung
Galaxy 2 tablet (this biggest challenger on 7 inch Androids). That is with
keyboard and USB adapter and microSD card slot and the review claims it has
better battery life and performance:
