Thank you for all your advice...My plan is to continue use the desktop for my photo needs..I just need something to fill in the gap while I am moving ( prob for about 3 months or so), and also to use when traveling. I do not intend to use iPad ( if that is what I get) for any major editing...I would download my cards directly to the desk top when I return home..I was looking for something that might function for my computer needs as well as short term photo use for the interim transition period. Because my needs are temporary, the cost of an ipad is less than laptop, and I need to know if that would work for a short time ( I can use ipad as e-reader, as well as for mail and web) Hope that makes sense...

The answer to your question is an easy YES you can use an iPad for the purpose that you mentioned. I just did the same thing when I went to Asia last summer. All I had with me was my iPad Pro and my Sony camera and it worked so nicely and fast. Just make sure that you have an iPad Pro preferably with 512gig memory. I mentioned iPad Pro because it has USB-C which allows you to connect hard drives, SSD drives, memory card, etc. 512 gig would be more than enough to upload you photos from card to iPad and vice-versa and do some edits on your photos.
Affinity is available specifically for iPads with full functionality and so is Lightroom and Photoshop but with limited functionality. A pencil (generic or Apple) would also facilitate editing especially with Affinity or Photoshop but not really necessary.

I forgot to mention that you need to buy a USB-C Hub so you can connect and read your SD cards. Go to Amazon and search for USB-C hubs, there are tons of them at Amazon and really cheap.
