I bought an iPad pro last spring and I use it mostly for multimedia -- reading, listening to music and audiobooks and watching youtube. One word of warning, since the advent of iOS10, I no longer use it for email because of a bug that disabled the two finger flick to read messages. On the iPad, when I open a message and do the two finger flick VO reads the entire screen rather than just the contents of the message. In order to start reading at the beginning of the message, I have to touch the message then do the flick. It's inconvenient enough that I no longer use my Ipad for email.
