The likely answer (unfortunately) is to find a secondhand device with an older operating system and turn off automatic updates. Many people, including me, had the same struggle. Some older iPads are vulnerable to the checkm8 vulnerability and can be partially downgraded (using a tool called downra1n) to an older operating system version by a person with technical skills, although the “hack” requires it to reconnect to a computer each time it boots (this is probably not for the average person to attempt).

macsforme thank you for the reply

I have query..like high refresh rate and high pixel density approx 300 ppi tablets with such features will not cause any eye strain while reading pdfs?

As ipad has 60 refresh rate and 264 ppi

And even I have lenovo tab M11 even this causes eye strain as it has 206 ppi

Do u have any idea about this?

iPad 8th gen used a sRGB screen without True Tone. If you can find one it might be worth a try. It’s still supported by Apple.

pav I haven’t found a fully comfortable tablet for reading, unfortunately. I used a first generation iPad Pro on iOS 14 for a while, then later an iPad Air 2 with iOS 15. Both were tolerable but not great for reading. I would not try to read anything on iOS 17+. I would like to try an e-ink tablet at some point.
