1. I wish I could

The mini I have never touched, only seen. But the iPad regular? Big screen, easy to expand text for those with vision issues, extremely easy to use. I strongly recommend the big guy.

2. Both are good for an older person. The Mini is lighter and smaller hand friendly.

But as noted above, the bigger screen has its own advantage.

3. I have the iPad 3

Don't think I would go with the mini must because of the larger screen. I also have an iPod if carrying and size is a problem.

4. As an older mom with vision issues....

.....I asked the same questions when pondering which to buy. I needed the IPad or Mini to replace some functions on my IPhone which are simply too small and difficult to read, causing eye strain. I decided on the IPad because size of print can be enlarged. The Mini is hardly larger than a Phone. However, I do wish the IPad was not so heavy. I've really enjoyed reading books in bed on my IPad, but I have to have a pillow prop for it to rest on; cannot hold in hands very long without cramping. Also, I seldom take it in my bag because it makes it so heavy.

Also, I seldom surf the internet with the IPad, still use my computer for that, because you cannot navigate very well between sites, at least I haven't discovered how. It's best to get the App for various sites that you look at often.

Guess I haven't been very helpful. Wish I could have both! If you want to take your Mini with you a lot, I would get that one. .

5. Thanks to all, my mom's chosen the iPad.
