But Apple allowed me to buy an iPad in my own country, so there's nothing to discuss there. Availability matters, Amazon, not just price.

But if you're looking for a tablet as a color reader then high-resolution is going to be on the short list of desirable features along with weight and a strong variety of reading apps. Other things I considered were aspect ratio, ergonomics in both portrait and landscape, audio quality, and (yes) cost. Screen resolution alone, no.

I didn't get a Fire because I wanted full access to Google Play, so yes, I bought my Nexus 7 based on features more than screen resolution. But the screen on my Nexus 7 is so darned pretty that I use the Nexus 7 more than the iPad for certain functions, notably reading. I only read on my iPad 2 to test out reading apps. Otherwise, it's Nexus 7 first and Touch second. And right now that pretty screen is making my Touch a somewhat distant second. It depends.
