I like to put on +3 reading glasses and pretend I have the eyes of an 16 year old :-)
On my iPhone 4S, with the higher pixel density, i can read a full page of an average tech book, in portrait mode with the reading glasses. But it would be considerably more comfortable to read on a slightly bigger device. I haven't actually seen the current mini, but the pixel density is considerably lower than on the full size iPad, and I'm sure I would be able to see pixelation with on the mini. As far as WiFi goes, I could use iPhone as a personal hotspot and get the mini without the cellular, but it would be less hassle with cellular built in.
