Of course, like most reading devices it has it's good and not so good point. It's difficult to read in direct sunlight and it's best suited to reading when you hold it in your lap or on a stand rather than just hold in one hand. The good points is there is a lot of screen space.
I don't plan to read outside so sunlight won't be a problem. Speaking of weight, I assume you have the 12.9" iPad Pro?

Do you use the True Tone feature when reading on the iPad Pro?

As nice as the 12.9" iPad Pro is, I mainly don't want to get it because of the weight. Not only that, but I plan to use the Pro in university and also use it for notes; the less weight the better.

Besides the True Tone display, a number of iOS reading apps are very customizable, so I can come up with a combination of background color, brightness, and font that works well for me.
This is really good to know, thanks for the input.
