Sorry but in regards to the iPad being a 3rd Generation and as it is no longer supported with the more recent Security updates, and therefore may still cause you problems as some apps and websites may no longer work on the iPad, you may want to consider purchasing another iPad and the following link shows you what iPads are currently available:

You could also consider a refurbished iPad which are available from time to time and at reasonable prices as per the following link:

You will need to see what is available in your country.
