I was skeptical about the iPad for music - then I saw one. I thought the screen would be too small compared to my Music Pad Pro. However- the screen is so crisp, clear and bright, that I like it better than my MPP. I brought out into the sun - and I could still read the music!

So I got one. The app I use is called "unreal Book" - it's a great app - made for musicians! Has simple Set List creation ability, search for song titles, features for big PDFs that have lots of pages (easy to navigate) etc. Does exactly what I need.

Not sure if my more serious "dense" music (like 3-staff organ music or dense-note piano music) will hold up to the 9.7" screen, but my fake sheets, chord charts, and lead sheets (lyrics + chords) work perfectly and are very readable, and easy to navigate using unreal Book...
