I about to get iPad mini mainly for my sketching as well as reading ebooks. Not really sure of screen sensitivity for sketching thought between mini and 4. Any advise?
Got a tip for us?

There is basically little to no screen sensitivity in any of the iPads. This has been a huge sticking point with the newer android tablets etc. They love to hype how they, unlike iOS devices, have a Wacom digitizer that gets like 100 levels of pressure sensitivity. For something even close you'd have to use a stylus that provides control via bluetooth or such, like the newer Pogo

I completely agree. Android tablets rule with their Wacom digitizers.

If you're going to be sketching, it seems like a bigger screen would work much better. The mini's screen is probably too small to be effective.
I just sold my new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Quadcore tablet with the S-pen to buy this iPad 4. I really miss the S-Pen stylus! LOVE the iPad 4 much more but I cannot lie, that stylus was fantastic and the best for drawing apps. The pressure sensitivity was a beautiful thing...
Anyway, the retina screen and larger screen is more enjoyable for sketching for sure
