Reboot each 5 minutes

[tjololo]

Let's see if someone can help me. I have an iPad 1 that I use exclusively for reading. From one day to the next it gives me a constant reboot loop every 5 minutes. I've been reading that it's a problem with the operating system and I'm going to try resetting it and loading the saved backup. I use it exclusively for reading and I have 1440 books on iTunes 12.5 that I use for synchronization since it is the last one that had a book library. On my iPad 1 there is the Ibook 3.1.3 with its organization in shelves that allow you to see the books with their covers, and that once read went to another shelf that I named "Read Books". Since I don't know if I can recover it by resetting the system, I'm thinking of buying an iPad Pro and restoring the backup copy of my iPad 1, but... Apple has replaced the Ibook 3.1.3 with the Apple Books, which does not have the possibility of see the books on shelves like in the Ibook 3.1.3 and from what I have seen it is a bit chaotic for those of us who like to have our library perfectly organized.

Is there a way to have the old Ibook 3.1.3 on the Ipad Pro?
When I restore the backup from my iPad 1 to the iPad Pro, will the books be copied directly to Apple Books?

I am afraid there is no way you can run the old style iBooks on a newer iPad Pro.

When you restore from a backup, you might have to re-download the books from your Purchases list.

Sorry, but with 1440 books on the iPad 1, I hope the process is easier than having to re-download all of the books - but you state that reading books is all that you do on the iPad now (no mail checking, web browsing, etc?) - if that is true you can purchase a much less expensive model other than a Pro - note below that the starting prices for currently offered 'new' iPads shows over a $600 difference - the 10th generation iPad would likely serve your needs - AND if you want to go 'used' or 'refurb' prices would be even cheaper. Good luck. Dave
