I don’t think I realized just how much I missed the Mini 2 which I sold several months ago. I really like this size format much better than the bulky Pro 9.7. The Mini 2 and 5 are easily the best ereader tablets I’ve ever owned.

I don’t seem to have any of the issues with iPadOS 13 on the Mini 5 that I’m having with the Pro 9.7 from 2016. Maybe the old Pro is just too old for iPadOS, or maybe the old Pro was just a dud to begin with. The battery is certainly worn out on the Pro too. I’ll keep the Pro as a backup though.
I had the mini briefly. perfect size and shape for reading
