Hi Dwayne,

I have a few Android devices and based on my experiences, I'd say the
Nexus 7 is a good choice.

First off, since it has 4.1 you have a little more time before it's
completely obsolete, probably two years (and the price isn't too high so
the limited lifespan won't sting so much when you need to move on). I
have a Galaxy Player running 2.3 that's going to be pretty useless for
web browsing or new apps real soon.

Next, they will sell a lot of them so you can expect good hacks to be
available. And it isn't an off-brand, denied access to the official app
store.

Seven inches is a good size because you can hold it securely with one
hand, but it's not so small that you can't read a book on it.

Good time to re-read the Edgar Rice Burroughs "Mars" series:

Best regards,

Bob
