I'm in the market for something like this, but for sheet music. Something where I can upload PDF copies of music to a reader, annotate them with the stylus, and easily page through the music as part of a performance. I sing choir, so weight is a factor. My Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is just a tad too heavy.

I read lots of discussions on comparable devices on this post, can anyone recommend something suitable for music?

On android I use MobileSheets which does everything I need.



If weight is a factor (and, of course, if you can afford it) the new iPad Pro is an amazing option. Without a cover is the lightest device I’ve seen.


Thanks, I'm really looking to hop on the e-ink bandwagon though.

Having said that, iPad is the de-facto standard for all musicians that I've come across that don't use paper sheet music.


the reMarkable lets you upload PDFs and then you can write on them, so perhaps it can do what you need.

I was using mine a little while ago for a PDF-based RPG-type thing which involves a lot of writing on the PDF and it worked quite well (the main downside was the PDF took a while to render as it's very image-heavy but that might work better in your case.)
