I have the second gen iPad (iPad 2 3G) and I still use it for reading books and comics. The battery is still reasonable for the little usage it sees. Unfortunately, upgrading to iOS9 makes it utterly unusable so I have it still running iOS8. The only issue is Apple doesn’t let you download older versions of apps unless you’d bought them way back. I really wish Apple let alternate firmwares on these devices, I would love to run KOReader on my iPad over Linux.
