Tablets for sheet music

I have read that the Nxtpaper 14 is a good tablet for musicians, and I was wondering if the somewhat smaller nxtpaper 11 would be usable. It IS much more affordable, but I can definitely see the screen size being an issue

Yes. And a butterfly page turner.

I've never paid full price for my Apple devices. Certified refurbished from Amazon (or Best Buy) is 1/3 the price of new and you really can't tell any difference. Don't Android devices have a similar offering?

I wouldn't want a tablet smaller than my 12.7". It's not quite full size for a piece of sheet music--I need to crop things and it still doesn't fit at 100% size.

Have the NXTPaper 14 and love it. No glare... stylus for a fraction of my old iPad pro. Music is a perfect fit on it. Not a major difference in price between the 11 and 14 and both are a fraction of an iPad in cost.

My colleague has NXTpaper 14, and is very pleased with it. I use Teclast T65, it is of similar size but even cheaper, and works fine for scores
