I got the 16Gb one, and I use it to read in bed. It doesn't hurt as much when you fall asleep reading and it falls on your face. Try that with an iPad 1. put you in hospital with concussion!
Nice tip with the print to Nexus, didn't know about that one. I'm also using Safari Online on it, they recently came out with an app for Android. Lets you take 3 books offline. I've also been streaming music to it from my Telstra wifi hotspot. Mog is unmetered bandwidth if you are with Telstra. a Gb a day I use sometimes. Also use my phone for that if I left the Nexus at home.
