![]() The iPad Pro is a fantastic all-around device (Image credit: Luke Filipowicz / iMore) That means the 2022 iPad Air is super-powerful, though you're not going to benefit from the extra power if you're solely using it to read digital books. In 2022, Apple brought the desktop-class M1 chip to the iPad Air line for the first time with it having previously been limited to just the Pro models. It's not as pixel-dense as the smaller model, though, at 264 pixels per inch versus the mini's 326 pixels per inch. That display offers all of the same benefits of our top pick, the iPad mini 6, like full lamination, an anti-reflective coating, True Tone, and P3 wide color. The 2022 iPad Air offers a 10.9-inch display, though it actually weighs slightly less than the 10.2-inch iPad (1.02 pounds versus 1.07 pounds) despite having a larger canvas. It offers a mid-range size and plenty of power, though it may be too much both in terms of power and price if you primarily intend to use it as an e-reader. IPad Air 5 is great for reading and many other uses (Image credit: Future)Īpple's upper-mid-priced model, the iPad Air 5 is probably its most versatile tablet. However, none of these updates justify the $120 increase in price, if your primary use case will be e-reading. We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the 10th-generation iPad (2022), which has a slightly larger 10.9-inch screen, A14 chip, Liquid Retina Display, and other improvements over the 2021 model. The A13 Bionic chip inside the iPad (2021) is certainly powerful enough for digital reading and plenty of other tasks, making the 10.2-inch tablet a solid all-rounder with an attractive price. It also lacks the anti-reflective coating and P3 wide color, so bear that in mind. The display isn't as sharp as the iPad mini's and isn't fully laminated, meaning that there's an apparent air gap between the display's glass and the content on display. That 10.2-inch display does offer True Tone, so it will automatically adjust to ambient light to help your eyes out, which is ideal for readers. It's noticeably heavier than the iPad mini 6, though, at 1.07 pounds to the mini's 0.65 pounds so it won't be as comfortable to hold for long periods of time. The iPad offers a 10.2-inch display which is still on the smaller end of Apple's offerings, compared to the 10.9-inch, 11-inch, and 12.9-inch models offered in the Air and Pro lines, meaning this is still a more portable option. While it's certainly not aimed at pros, it offers a solid option for those wanting to spend as little as possible on an iPad-as-e-reader solution with a starting price of $170 off that of our top pick: iPad mini 6. The 9th-generation iPad (2021) is our budget pick (Image credit: Luke Filipowicz / iMore)Īpple's adjective-less iPad (2021) occupies the entry-level spot in its lineup. That means everything, but particularly text, looks super clear and sharp on-screen, making for a more pleasant reading experience. With a 2266x1488 resolution, it offers 326 pixels per inch. Less obvious, but arguably as important, is the fact that the iPad mini 6 has the most pixel-dense display of any current iPad model. It's a similar size to a paperback, and to other popular e-readers, so it will feel instantly familiar to those making the switch to an iPad. With an 8.3-inch display, it's the most compact iPad Apple sells and the easiest to hold for long periods of time. Firstly, and most obviously, is its size. Better yet, it packs all of the great new stuff into a form factor that is overall a tiny bit smaller than the fifth-generation model it replaced.įor keen readers, there are a few reasons why it features as our top pick. It is the most significant update to the iPad mini line since the first-generation model with a total design overhaul, larger display, huge power boost, and more. Launched in late 2021, the iPad mini 6 took a lot of folks by surprise. The diminutive iPad mini is perfect for reading anywhere, anytime (Image credit: iMore)
