I suggest moving this thread to the important topics.

I've added it to the Important Threads.

Hi,
I play classical music on piano, often accompanying a instrument (i.e. 3 bars of music) and I use a Samsung Tab S9 FE+ (12.4 inch screen). In portrait format it is large enough, but in landscape format with 2 pages on the screen, it is a bit small, but still properly readable. Would I prefer the 14.6 inch tablet? Yes, but it is too expensive (about twice the 12.4 inch).

Wow. This thread is 10 years old. I'd just like to share my experiences with different tablets. I don't remember the first tablet that I used, but it was Android. Then I switched to the Surface Pro 4. Then I was using it on a Surface Pro 7. Eventually, I wanted a little bit bigger screen to help out my ageing eyes, so I bought a Surface Laptop Studio. It was nice, but too heavy. Then I had it on a Surface Pro 9. The screen's not quite as big as the Surface Laptop Studio, but still acceptable. Then, I had a problem with that tablet, so for a while I used it on a Surface Pro 11 ARM with the OLED screen. That works great except that Microsoft has dropped Android support, and that is what our church music software, Music Stand, runs on. I wanted all my music on the same tablet, so I'm now back to Android on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 Ultra. MobileSheets works great on that. I thought that a 16:10 screen would waste too much of the screen, but that's not the case. I can put task bars on the screen to use that space. Also, I crop the side margins from my music, so it fits well, and the actual usable image is essentially the same size as an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper.

I went from an iPad to Surface Pro 8 and just switched to Boox Tab X C, which seems just about perfect. Near A4 screen size, color e eink, android, front light, great battery light, pen. Very happy after a couple of weeks use.

Wow. This thread is 10 years old. 

Tablets are, very much, a moving target and that's why this thread is still going after 10 years.  Your own story proves the point  .

I arrived via this thread which mentions Huawei's HarmonyOS (and the fact that MobileSheets is not planned to be supported natively there). However, it seems there is an emulator that enables Android apps to run on HarmonyOS NEXT, called "EasyAbroad" (available on Huawei's AppGallery).

Why is that important? Because large "foldable" (and a few rollable/slideable) tablets are gradually emerging, such as the 17.3'' ASUS Zenbook Fold (already out for a couple of years), Lenovo ThinkBook Flip and HP Spectre Fold (concept only), Amazon/Samsung/Apple (rumours) , 17" LG Gram Fold (South Korea) and 18'' Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate Design (China). The ASUS and LG are Windows, but the Huawei (which is larger, thinner, lighter, and brighter, with more memory and storage) runs HarmonyOS.

As a mainly classical musician, I often have 2-3 sheets open on the stand (paging back and forth with pedal or gestures would be a pain), so *if* the huge Huawei can run MobileSheets via the EasyAbroad emulator, it would be a game-changer for me, and for many others I suspect. It would be great to hear others' experiences of EasyAbroad.
