  I get the sarcasm, but isn’t that exactly what E-Paper tablets are really good at?

    isn’t that exactly what E-Paper tablets are really good at?

    I would love to use an e-Ink screen, because they play much better with stage lighting.

    However, I’ve yet to see one that can do what I want the iPad to do, sheet-music-wise. I don’t only want to see it, I want to be able to make markings, scan scores, act as a pitch pipe and metronome, have an onscreen keyboard to plunk out the part I’m singing if I’m struggling to read it, etc.

    (That also isn’t the only thing I use my iPad for, just the main excuse I have for owning one. I actually probably will buy the M4 Pro, but mainly because I already have a buyer for my current iPad and because it’s so much lighter.)

      There are absolutely devices that can do this already.

        Can you recommend some? I’m intrigued!

        We even have Android eink phones now.

        Sure, but I don’t really want to read sheet music off a phone. I need to be able to see the score and the conductor AND look like everyone else in the chorus, so I have to be able to hold it a good distance from my face.
