"too large to be my iPad for everything else"

Because it's too large to carry around all the time, or because it's not comfortable to use when lying down, or something else?

You nailed it. Too large to casually take with me when I leave, too large/awkward to comfortably use lying down.

I don't remember whether there were other problems because it took all of 15 minutes to realize I couldn't sell my smaller iPad to help pay for it and still have an iPad to use most of the time.
