All iPads Are you tempted by other tablets?

My iPad Pro M4 has also served as an e-reader. Does a good job at it for me, others may be more demanding when it comes to e-readers. Every time I considered buying an e-reader, I would stop and think that I would then be carrying around two tablets; in the end, it just didn't make sense for me to purchase an e-reader.

I have a few Kindles. I pretty much only use the Paperwhite 4 on vacation (beach/poolside) or long haul flights nowadays.

I buy my ebooks from Kobo and the whole dance of converting and loading them into the Kindle is a chore. I do have a Kobo reader as well but I prefer the feel in-hand of the Kindle.

Tried several times, but it didn’t work. Android tablets are not optimized for the screen size available, most apps runs like big, ugly phone versions. The ecosystem is nonexistent and each Android maker add their overlay and move settings around so finding things like changing the notifications volume can become a challenge. Every time I need to update a setting in some family members android phone is a cursing contest from me. I bought another tablet, to complement my iPad Pro, an iPad mini 7.

No. I bought a Samsung Tab A (for a very specific, limited use case) and hated everything about it. It didn't adequately serve the purpose I bought it for and I had no desire to use it for general tablet use, I much prefer my iPad. The Tab A now sits up in my electronics cabinet gathering dust.

Only for the purposes of testing old android-only games, this iPad 4 is just fine for me otherwise.

I was slightly tempted by those paper-like e-ink tablets, but I tried them and they're not much better than iPad+pen.
I am tempted by other watches (in fact I have a Garmin now and not an AW), phones with flip screens, computers with better specs, and so on, but of all the apple products, the tablet is the one that is 10 steps ahead of all other competitors.
