Which older versions of iPad Mini is best for READING NOTES ONLY on Keynote and Powerpoint? The iPad will not be used to connect to another device, only for reading the presentation notes while giving a presentation on Keynote or Powerpoint. Older versions, due to affordability.
Microsoft PowerPoint App - App Store
Keynote: Design Presentations App - App Store
the current version in app store both require ipadOS 18 or newer
and in case of powerpoint a microsoft office 365 subscription
you can see which devices support ipados18 here
iPadOS 18 Supported Devices List (iPad Models): EveryiPad.com
though in case of support for office 365 subscription then I'm not sure what would
happen if microsoft dropped support for ipados18 and required ipados26
iPad models compatible with iPadOS 26 - Apple Support (BY)
you may also be able to find other programs in app store which would support opening powerpoint files
