You would probably love the iPad for its size then. I use the iPad all the time for free Republic. I’ve been known to post a few replies at a red light, too! ... :-)
Wife has iPad Mini....loves it. I broke the pattern and went with a Surface...got a good deal, and has full office suite... what can I say? Be careful at those red lights! Actually my iPhone 6 plus screen size isn’t too far off the mini :)
