Older iPads work better than you think... This 10 year old iPad Air makes the best E reader!

The iPad Air 1st generation (2013) is a steal right now if you're just after an ebook with a long lasting battery and decent screen. Why pay hundreds for a newer model with few improvements other than speed you don't need?

Also sorry about the dead audio quality... need to get a proper mic still tbh

I can beat you by a whisker on the age thing - I have a iPad 3rd Gen A1430 (9.7" IPS, TFT, Retina 2038 x 1536) which works great as an e-book reader. In fact, that's pretty much all I use it for. It takes a while to boot up, but once up and running it does what it's asked. I use the Bluefire Reader app for e-books and Apple iBooks for PDFs.

Just got an iPad 6th gen for $50. Amazing value to have as a web browser and media consumption device. It can even handle light note taking and document writing in split mode, with great support for mouse and keyboard. However, audio stutters a bit when I try to push it harder. It does 90% of what the new ones do, but at $50 is a total bargain.

1:49 Oh dear, i miss the orientation lock physical switch. This Air is the last one to have it, if i remember correctly. At least, on Air 2 it was gone already

£31 is insane for an iPad tbh, weren’t they like £500 new??

Will yours stream Netflix if you had a data plan? Also do IPad screens often crack? I’m hesitant going used as I can’t purchase apple care. Thanks mate.

how do you make it work? like do you connect it to a pc and just drag and drop pdfs and itll work out the box or... also can you watch youtube on it and web browse? I want a cheap; tablet that can read pdfs, watch youtube and web browse, can this do the trick?
