GVPL Libby too slow on iPad

Libby & Kindle slow refresh text

I have a iPad mini 2 running iOS 12.5.6


When I am reading a magazine downloaded from the GVPL on Libby, it takes a long time to open the magazine even when it has been downloaded as well as when going to the next page. Is this just due it being an older iPad & iOS? I currently only have six magazines downloaded but it seems to be slow even with only one downloaded.

I have 88 GB of data of 128 capacity, Libby is using 0.8 GB.
Will this problem be “cured” with a new iPad? Other suggestions?
Thanks,

Doug

You didn’t say how old the iPad is, or what version of iOS it’s running, but I’m gonna play it safe and say YES, a new iPad would not suffer this issue.

Magazines (which are generally in PDF format) are very graphics-intensive, so a newer iPad with more graphics power is likely to work better with those sorts of files.
