Size wise it is good. It is palmable in one hand, it is narrower then the Ipad mini so I find in more comfortable to hold. Weight is fine, I haven't looked around at the apps for reading too much yet. If I was reading all day on it I would probably notice the difference between it and the Ipad Mini retina screen but I don't find it straining at all to read on.
It has a Kindle app and a Next Issue app if you subscribe to that, Netflix is there as well.
Battery life seems good, haven't really pushed it yet but I charge it at night and am able to use it throughout the day at work without worrying but that is only about 2-3hrs of use tops.
