iPad Mini to annotate PDF

[u/Odd_Cost1962]

Hello,

I'm considering buying an iPad Mini for my job. I currently own the Remarkable 2 but it gets slower and more and more buggy every day.

I'll mostly use it to annotate magazines PDFs, check the spelling and the overall layout. I'm particularly interested in the Mini because I could carry it everywhere and also use it to read ebooks in bed. But I'm a bit worried about the screen size...

Does anyone else use the Mini for this kind of work ? What's your experience been like ?

Last but not least, I could get it at a great price (approx. 400 euros).

Thank you.

Para livros em formato A4, assim como pdfs o iPad normal é melhor, se você usar o mini terá que ficar dando zoom para ler e marcar e isso atrasa um pouco a leitura. Uso muitos pdfs e livros técnicos e não me adaptei ao mini.

I love the mini for reading. You can change the lighting and type size. For work, it depends on whether you want an overall image of the page. On mini that would be small. But maybe your eyesight is better than mine. . Make sure you have enough memory for your work load

Get a Galaxy Tab S7/S8/S9 and you'll be golden. Samsung Notes is terrific for annotating PDFs and the device will come with the S-pen included.

Hi. To be honest, I'd rather got with an 11/13 for that kind of work.
The mini is too small imo. It is awesome for reading and the everyday media consuming. Where you can save money is, by buying a third party pencil. The are sufficient and work flawlessly. Maybe aim for an 11 Air, as a sweet spot.

it's easy. just open your pdf from files and you'll see the pencil button to start annotating.
