Got an iPad mini 6
I just bought an iPad mini 6 and really like it for reading and web surfing. My iPad Air 4 (2020, pre-M1] was just too big and heavy for reading what with my arthritis and carpel tunnel syndrome. (It sux being old!) I will use the iPad Air 2020 for spreadsheets and writing and photo editing. Mostly I find myself using the iPad mini 6 though for nearly everything else. With the smart folio case it weighs nearly nothing! I like that the case is held on by magnets so it is easy to remove and install. Way too expensive for a case though…

I also have a Kindle Oasis 3 but I like reading on the iPad mini 6 better. Last edited by OtinG; 02-15-2023 at 06:15 PM. |

I have a mini 5 and have been using the mini for reading since Apple released it in 2012. I have tried many devices, Paperwhite, Android tablets, etc. I like the mini best for size, flexibility to jump anywhere on the Internet and the reading apps are better than others. I use Marvin, Mapleread CE, Kindle and keep reference stuff in Apple’s Books. I have not upgraded to iOS 16 as it destroys some of Marvin’s features.

For simple books where I don’t have to look up much I still take Marvin3. Also you can always avoid look up by web search, but it is annoying
But since the scrubber no longer works properly either, I am switching more and more to MapleRead for non-fiction books. |

It's sad to see so many reading apps like Marvin (Hyphen, tiReader, KyBook, etc) go 'dark' and cease development. BookFusion looks like something I will be exploring. |
