I have a First Gen iPad with a dozen or so contemporary applications the still work because they do not touch the net at all. I also have hundreds of books that were legally downloaded. (humble bundles and creative common). It is my Replacement for an alarm clock beside my bed. I do have a list of sites that are lean enough to be read on it. Text mostly. I serves its purpose.
I really do not want this machine to fail because use it often. It would be lots of work recreate the convenience and familiarity of use if all the failed was a 50 cent button.
(PS it is on the net on my IOT "don't trust the IP stack" "vlan" of my home network [3 dumb router style DD-wrt units] in case it does get hit by a site attacking 10 year old iPads. I have my TVs, DVD players with apps and Guest access on it. May I will get another dumb router for the guests)
