Take your time, you have a wonderful device that will be able to do everything you need...just not perhaps in the way you are used to doing them.

Most of my books are epub, so no real problem on the reading app front. iBooks is kind of like Kindle though, I get a font size that is slightly too small, then next size up is too large. But there's other apps to use. Marvin seems very nice.
It's the gesture thing that makes me frustrated. It almost always takes more than one try to get to control center or close out an app I'm done with. I'm impatient and hate that, since such things just work in Android. Having to do extra is not just an annoyance for me, thanks to an old RSI injury to my arm, extra stuff address up and causes pain.
It's why I gesture type and won't likely buy a smart keyboard. Only regular keyboard I can type on is the Microsoft ergonomic one. Google's keyboard was installed on my iPad first thing!
But using the Pencil to edit images is a delight and a half! So I'm good. My games play well and that's good too, though I may tend to use the Pixel C more for that. I hope to be able to keep this device for some years as my 'graphics tablet' so I don't want to put too much wear on the battery from games.
I did notice that Google has joined the pen fray with their new Chromebook, but until there's good apps (besides a Photoshop subscription) that won't do. But I can hope their next tablet will work with a pen and who knows, maybe Affinity would consider an Android app.....
Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy my iPad and Pencil! Was scanning some book illustrations tonight, 37 of them! Even with this iPad, that's going to be quite the project!
