I would actually if it weren’t for updates, but what I do on the tablet is so undemanding compared to phones that I made the concession for long term updates. Since the iPad for me is just a glorified comic reader most of the time. Didn’t end up being the productivity laptop replacement I thought it would be other than writing on PDFs and drawing
I miss Tachiyomi and would actually get much more out of it than paperback. And vlc on ipad has struggled with playing some encoded x265 files compared to Android, and video options that are Foss so don’t have ads or IAP are so lacking that that expensive paid options like Infuse is pushed.
And the file system is too restrictive. The nice specs seem to be held back so much by the OS. It is more filling the role a Kindle does for ebooks but for comics instead when it comes to the iPad for me. I wish it ran MacOS when you hooked it up to an external monitor or connected a keyboard to it. Although being able to use it as an external monitor with MacOS is really cool.
But, I am thinking of getting a Android tablet next time if there is one that has good custom rom community or at least official lineage OS support, since I would prefer the Android app alternatives for stuff like comics and video players and also being able to easily use emulators and play like DS games with the stylus would be fun.
Fair enough, indeed I suffer from that too, I sideload an app to read my Komga stuff (I’m not sure about the name) and I feel the OS is very limited, although each upgrade this is feeling less and less (with iPhone too) for me these hardware became more usable since iOS 7.

It’s more convoluted than it needs to be but I’ve been using Tachiyomi to retrieve Manga and then send it to my iPad to read with Yacreader.
