I was hoping DisplayMate would chime in on the Mini's screen. Interestingly, he graded the Mini overall slightly higher than the Nexus due to better colour calibration, even though the Nexus has a better gamut.

The bigger news to me is that Mini has the worst battery of the bunch, by quite a margin.

If it's available where you live and you can stand the software, looks like Kindle HD actually has more or less the best hardware.

Except that it's absolutely crippled in countries where they don't have a marketplace (like here in Iceland). And yeah, the software of Nexus 7 imo makes it a far better choice for most things. Kindle HD is maybe better for book reading, I dunno.

Yeah, I was trying to include the availability of Amazon's markets and services when I used the word "availability."

Kindle Fire - 6 countries

Nexus 7 - 8 countries

iPad mini - 34 countries

And if you want to see where the content ecosystems are avilable:

This is one of Apple's often-overlooked advantages. It leads in pretty much every category of content distribution except books.
