Disclaimer: My apologies for what is most likely the umpteenth redundant what to do iPad Mini thread and thanks in advance for your responses.
I have an iPad 2 that has been taken over by my 5 and 3 year olds.
Also have an iP5 and a 13" 2012 MBA. However you can't read iBooks on a non-iOS device. Added to which I want an LTE iPad next time around. Our iPad 2 is WiFi only.
I really like the weight difference of the Mini to the 4.
Of course the new 5 is rumored to have the narrow bezels and be lighter, but still not Mini light. And like most I really want a Mini with Retina as the iP4 and iP5 have spoiled me there.
1) how is iBooks reading on a Mini? Both resolution and screen size. I've read on my iPad 2 and iP5 (while the text is sharp on the iPhone, it is just too little real estate).
2) do you think it is worth getting a Mini v.1 this late in the game vs. waiting on the Retina whenever that may be knowing that I can probably sell the Mini and upgrade at not much of a loss.
3) what will be the better device in your opinion. A slightly lighter narrower bezel iPad 5 or a Retina Mini 2? Weight vs screen...
