    There are absolutely devices that can do this already.

    We even have Android eink phones now.

          Thanks! I remember I didn’t like the Kindle Scribe (though I don’t really remember why). I’ll have to look through the others.

            The BOOX Tab Ultra C Pro is probably closest to what you’re looking for. It’s basically a full fledged Android Tablet, just with an eInk screen. It even has a camera you can use for document scanning and such, and a pressure sensitive stylus powered by WACOM tech. Of course, this hinges on if you can find the apps you need on Android. I love Android, but Apple definitely has a leg up when it comes to proprietary productivity and creative apps.

            I personally have a BOOX Nova Air C which is a 7.8in model from a couple years ago, which has a color eInk screen, Bluetooth, Mic, Speakers, Stylus, Android 11, and the full Google Play Store. I personally use it mostly for reading, but the stylus works really well for taking notes, and I’ve even played games on it (GameBoy Tetris for the win).

              Man, if I didn’t already use an iPad, and weren’t responsible for creating forScore setlists for several other chorus members, I’d probably get something like that.

      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.

      Edit: Same reason I never bothered to try using my Kindle. 😂
