Too heavy for me. No eink. And no page turn buttons. And no, I don't want to read with an external keyboard attached (might as well read on my laptop in that case, or on my Surface Pro - neither of which I use for book reading), or use voice control to turn pages. I don't need immersion reading or TTS. Nor do I read graphic novels.
In short, the Oasis suits me well, but I wouldn't have any use for iPad Mini. YMMV, as always.
Not that iPad Mini isn't a nice little device. A couple of years ago I even considered getting it. But I couldn't for the life of me think of anything I'd want to use it for. Too small for movies, and I wouldn't want to read a text-based novel on it. I guess it's perfect for comics, mangas and such, but I don't read those.
