So Best Buy is having a sale on their Ipad Mini 2's. LINK
What's the point of having a tablet when, seemingly, my Iphone can do anything that Mini can?
TLDR; Sell me on buying a tablet

If you think your iPhone does everything you need it to, there's no point in getting a tablet of any sort.
And your title is going to get this thread anchored.

It's bigger and easier to navigate and read?

No point in Ipad. Surface pros however

Back in the day, I got a Nook. Initially I used it like crazy. Took it everywhere.
At that time, I didn't have a smart phone.
When I finally caved in and joined the real world and grabbed a smart phone, I used it for everything.
Not sure I've touched the nook for more than 3 hours in the last 3 years.
Some people still use their tablets a ton but I think after the initial surge of use, a lot of people have them off to the side gathering dust.
Especially people with large screen smart phones.
Only way I see you using it a ton is if you actually use it for work.
And if that is true then you should be using a Surface Pro 3.

I'll also say I have an ipad air 2 and a surface pro 3. I rarely use my ipad, but I use my SP3 95% of the time, even over my regular laptop.

If I were traveling I would prefer to watch a movie on a tablet vs. a phone. I think the Phablets are returning Tablets to the luxury computing device category though. Nobody needs a tablet but there are certain situations where the larger screen is advantageous.

I read on mine. Had a first gen kindle fire and just got the newest 6 inch version. Wanted one thinner and lighter. I have an iPhone and my wife has an iPhone and iPad mini. But I like the kindle store for books and didn't want to spend a ton on one.

I bought a Surface 2 for under $300 on Amazon a month or so ago. I use my laptop almost exclusively as a desktop now, and I bring my Surface with me whenever I leave home. Has all of the Microsoft Office products if I need to do some work, has the keyboard cover if I am doing anything more than browsing, and the kickstand in the back is pretty convenient.
Mine's Wifi only, though, so I can't watch movies on the road or anything like that.

I have a Nexus 9 that I keep on my nightstand to browse the web and read/check email at night and in the mornings. It's much better than a phone simply due to the screen size.
I use my Surface Pro 3 for work, but I dont consider that a tablet.

When I'm at home I'm always on my tablet instead of the phone (LG G3). Love the phone but why read, watch videos, surf the Internet on a smaller device.
Also I read a ton so it gets a lot of use.
