I think I'll probably upgrade from my iPad3 to the iPad Mini2 sometime early next year. I don't buy into Faterson's BS rant about needing a bigger screen to read on nor his BS about iOS7 being horrible. Heck, I read hundreds of books on PDAs which had 3" squared LCDs with only 320 x 320 pixels for 151 ppi! Granted my eyes were a decade younger then. But the Mini2 will have more real estate than 7" tablets and it will have 324 ppi. That is more than enough to comfortably read on. I'll wait a while to make sure the hardware doesn't have any issues, but I don't think it will as the iPad Air seems to be okay.
