I forgot to mention weight. That's something the OP should care about,
too.

I love my iPads for doing the things I want them, IOW for audio
production and drawing. I tried to use them for reading, when not
sitting on my desk, but e.g. lying in my bed. Light isn't an issue (it
would be outside), contrast isn't an issue, reflections are an issue for
the iPad 2, but not for the iPad Pro 3rd gen. However, apart from the
fixed distance, required when wearing reading glasses, weight indeed is
an issue, too.

Good point! Thank you for the heads up!

Btw. iPads aren't cheap either. IOW soon or later I'll take a look at
those readers you mentioned. Thank you Liam :)!
