For reading and web surfing you won't find a better screen. True the modern iPads have Display P3 screens, but that extra color space is overkill for reading ebooks. So it all depends on what tasks for which a person will use the iPad.

Personally I think trying to rate iPads or any other thing is ridiculous and impossible because no two people will ever have the same needs, wants, restrictions, et cetera.
Yep, it all depends on what you are trying to do with the device. If syncing between devices wasn't so important to me, I might just use my kindle or Kobo rather than an iPad mini. If library management wasn't so important, then I might use the Kindle app or Books app rather than CC and Marvin.

I do think that dropping support for a device is a fairly significant issue, but I suppose that some may not feel the same way. Whatever works for you is the right choice in the long run.
