The 2x 13" screen eink tablets for music are about $1500. You can also use a single screen 13" eink tablet and a footpad for turning pages, for about $500-600.

The 2x 13" screen eink tablets for music are about $1500. You can also use a single screen 13" eink tablet and a footpad for turning pages, for about $500-600. They all run Android so Bluetooth foot pedals for page turning work fine.
Smaller 7-10" eink display tablets are even cheaper
- umvi 7y agoIs the majority of that cost the eink displays? $1500 seems super high considering a kindle is $100 (hard to tell if Amazon is subsidizing the cost of the display though) In my mind, you should be able to buy a dual eink display for <$500
- dharma1 7y agoYeah I think it's low volumes of 13.3" eink screens/tablets that drive the price up. The small ones are really cheap
- lawik 7y agoIf you want 13" I don't think Inky will do it. I imagine trying to follow sheet music on a 4.2" display might be a bit rough. But I wouldn't know, I can hardly parse it on proper paper.
- jmcqk6 7y agoI have a gvido device, which you seem to be referencing here. If I could return it, I would have, but their return policy is extremely restrictive and basically amounts to no returns. It's waaaayyyy to slow to truly function. It can take several seconds for it to process a page turn, and their official fix for it is to change so that it only turns one page at a time. I make it work when I'm practicing, but I will not use it for a performance, or ensemble work. I recommend staying far away until they can turn out faster devices.
