I’ve been using an old iPad for reading comics but the screen size is just a tiny bit too small.
The iPad Pro with a bigger screen is completely out of my price range.
Any devices that has a decent screen size and are affordable (in the EU)?
Unfortunately that’s a dead end here. FB is overpriced and everyone wants full price for their used things. Ive tried a bunch of flea markets recently but it’s never electronics and recycling centers here aren’t allowed to sell or give away old devices.
I would go with a used device if I knew what model to aim for.
I mean, why aim for a specific model at all? Just look at the options available to you and pick the one that best meets your requirements.
Also, where in the EU are you that your recycling centers aren't allowed to sell electronics? I'm in Finland and they are allowed to sell old laptops etc. after they have been purged of the old users content afaik.
Stick with the IPad, the apps are better the screens are better. Even something a few years old will be better than any google tablet (even if just due to apps being tablet optimised).
I’ve got a 1st gen iPad Mini that I used to use, but it got real slow.
I recently fired it up, thinking I could wipe it and revert it back to the original iOS and it would speed up. Nope. I can’t downgrade it. And even if I could, the App Store doesn’t distribute older versions of apps that would work on those older iOS versions.
Sucks that that device is basically useless now - just because of software.
Like, if I could install some flavor of Linux on it, it could be useful.
