tried that, but setup forces you to pick a backup selection, even though all backups were grayed out and said "incompatible." But I did figure it out. I had to connect old iPad to computer and iTunes, force a software update, and then reset to factory settings. Then I was able select "manual set up - do not use backup."
Sadly, I think all of this was in vain. Most apps require higher IoS than this iPad mini 2 can support anymore, even when setting say it's compatible. Download just circles forever. Forced into upgrading....when all I use this for in reading books. :-(

We’re talking about ancient history, but I think iOS 9 included Apple’s Books app. If so, you can read books from Apple’s Book Store there, I would think.
