I'm 72, have (and had) several eink readers (only have two now -EZ Reader & Kindle1). I read a lot & mostly on my iPad Air 2 but some on my iPhone 6+ (which I sometimes call an iPad Mini Mini). I much prefer the iPad except the 'very rare' times that I read in bright sunlight.

I don't notice any significant difference in the glare between my iPad 2, iPad 4 & iPad Air 2. The main improvements, IMO, on the iPad Air 2 are the cheaper price in the higher GB units, and the CPU speed. I do notice that the older iPads are heavier when I pick them up but usually don't notice the iPad Air 2 being lighter. Also having the 802.11AC was a very nice plus for me with my home WiFi.

Having Calibre & Marvin, the iPad is a much better choice for me.
