I really really like mine. I only had 9.7" iPads for the six years prior which felt so right for content, but I still found I'd get sick of propping it up, etc. So sick in fact I sold my Air 2 last year and have had no iPad for a year until buying this mini two weeks ago. This is much more handling friendly and the screen size is perfectly fine for hours of content consumption. No problems with the size for videos, and no problems reading forums in portrait for hours.
I'm a mini convert.
