I've been reading some on my wife's mini trying to decide if I want the iPad Air or the Mini Retina. I have an iPad 3 at the moment. I don't actually hold it but rest it on my belly when I read so it's weight is not THAT big a deal to me.

I'm finding for reading books the mini's size is very nice. For almost everything else I prefer the larger screen. I'll probably go with the air.
