[QUOTE="theoak, post: 1507229, member: 72767"] Well, sort of new. After debating for quite some time, I pulled the plug and ordered a white 32 GB Mini from Apple's refurb store. It is scheduled to be delivered this Friday. (I didn't know they shipped from Hong Kong.) I already ordered an inexpensive case and screen protection film from eBay and may later get a nicer case if this one is too cheesy. The refurb store says that they replace the outside case and put in a brand new battery as part of the refurbishment process, so I hope this was a wise move, as I like my stuff to look new, even if it isn't. I already had a gen 1 iPad, but never used it much, since I also have a Nook Tablet (last years model) that I use a lot. The iPad was just a little too big to take out and about, and a little heavy to lay in bed and read from. So I am thinking of just downloading the Nook App for reading, since the MIni has a slightly larger screen and is still a little lighter. I don't think the lower screen resolution will make much difference with this size screen. I also like that the Mini has cameras and bluetooth, as my Nook Tablet doesn't have either. I've been a member here for a while, but mostly lurk. I will be probably lurking more now that I have a new device to explore. This forum is a great place to learn from. Keep up the good work!!
