These guys have been advertising heavily recently, and have been featured here on HN: https://getremarkable.com/

The HN discussion has some good arguments about whether the startup can deliver what they say they can or not. Healthy scepticism combined with some signs they really might be able to. I decided to pre-order after reading this thread, and I hope my money isn't gone ;) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13113819

Point is, if real, it looks fantastic.

Do you know if anyone is building a large format e-reader for sheet music? Having a nice way to flip pages would be nice, too (full touch screen probably unnecessary).

That looks pricey, but great. Thank you. I'm not sure if a double-page is necessary. I was thinking about using an old iPad in the meantime. I wonder if a microphone could follow the music well enough to follow along -- detect mistakes or automatically change pages.
