An interesting claim that calibre is "wonderfully supported" on
any iOS device. Perhaps you can give details of how this wonderful support is delivered since my experience with using calibre and iOS devices definitely does not fall into the "wonderfully supported" range. Is it the ease of transferring ebooks over USB? Transferring multiple ebooks over wireless? Editing metadata, series info, etc. and being easily able to use this information on the iOS device?

Kobo Forma 197 grams (8" screen)
Kindle Oasis 3 188 grams (7" screen)
iPad Mini 4 298.8 grams WiFi only model (7.9" screen)
iPad Mini 5 300.5 grams WiFi only model (7.9" screen)
iPad Pro 631 grams WiFi only (12.9" screen)
iPad Pro 468 grams WiFi only (11" screen)
iPad Air 456 grams WiFi only (10.5" screen)
Ipad 469 grams WiFi only (9.7" screen)
Hmmm... at over 50% heavier, I suspect quite a few people would consider the iPad Mini to be heavy compared to Kobo and Amazon's large screen ereaders. Especially after holding it for a couple of hours.
