So, are you saying they don’t make the Gold Fiber Silk anymore? The reason I picked this one is because the only representation I could find of Baryta Papers showed this one as having the most texture. I felt like that would break up the gloss. I don’t like gloss or, I didn’t before this. Hahnemuhle makes a matte baryta paper, I just discovered but I can’t see how that would work. Maybe it would be better than regular matte paper, in that it might not scratch as badly. Regular paper is fine with me as long as you handle really dark prints or dark areas of a print with care. I’m gonna look for that paper you were talking about. If it’s better than this, I want it.

I will second Baryta papers. My favorite was Ilford Gold Fiber Silk, used it for over 10 years until they lost their supplier. If you want to know How good Baryta coated paper is, try to find Michale Reichman's Old article "Battle of the Barytas" He reviewed the Ilford, Canon and Hahnemule offerings and picked Ilford --I'm down to my last roll.
The Great B&W Fiber based Printing papers were all Baryta coated so it even has a familiar smell.
Because of the whiteness of Baryta, the papers also exhibit some of the widest color Gamuts and contrast ranges.
They really benefit from the 11 ink 10 Channel Pigment inks in the high end Epson Photo Printers.
Results can be stunning.

I have a PowerEx battery charger and have used it for several years. It's quite elaborate and allows you to charge/fix four AA or AAA, NiMH or NiCD. It does not do lithium. It is fully configurable and can be used to bring batteries up to full charge level. Some chargers only charge to the minimum capacity of all the batteries being charged, with a slow degradation of the batteries. This repairs that. It's fully programmable. The downside is that it is awfully expensive, about $100 Canadian. Not mine, but similar:

Do you intend to edit on the iPad? on new ones it is possible but not terribly sophisticated.
A better strategy is to edit on your computer, make folders of edited JPEGS and move those to the iPad
If you have a Mac it is really simple , import your folder into PGOTOS as an album and you can then move the whole album to the iPad with Air Drop (all wireless)
You can also 'Publish' or share that album on iCloud photo sharing and invite only who you want.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to clutter a device with limited storage with loads of big files.
The Latest iPads have the ability to have an external drive (or USb3 Memory stick) you could also do it that way which would be cross platform.
