iPad Mini Gen 2 vs iPad Air Gen 1

Which one is better? I need it for: reading kindle books, my iTunes playlist, and watching Netflix (mainly). I'd go for the 32 or 64 GB. I know the Air has a larger screen size, but is that basically the only difference?


(Thank you all, who answered my earlier question about getting an iPad, at all... I am going to. Now I need to narrow it down.)

Size is one of the main differences, but to be honest, I believe your best method of determining this is to go to the Apple Store and put your hands on the two devices and test them out. This will give you a chance to see what works best for you. That is why they have them out like that to help you.
