Very portable, less fragile than an eink device, battery life maybe isn't the same but is still very good. I've usually bought Apple certified refurbs for the discount but still full warranty.
The mini 6 weighs 297 grams. If you're not in a rush, they're well overdue for a bump, and hopefully any new one would have the M1 or M2 chip. Mind you, I'm still running the mini 4 and it's just fine for reading.

I hadn’t thought of the Mini, actually. Do you have other apps on it, or truly just use it for reading? And how do you find the battery life to be when used just for reading? My regular ipad (with regular usage, not just reading) lasts a day or maybe two; I’d like to have at least a few days on whatever I’m using for reading.
