Yes, I know someone who uses an iPad to read music. I think it's ridiculous but I'd never say that to his face. It's way too small and doesn't really support using a stylus, though he uses some sort of stylus with it anyway. An Asus EP121 would be a lot better than an iPad.

Backlit screens are good for pit orchestra, opera, pops, rock, or studio type situations where the musicians are basically in the dark and would otherwise be using stand lights. But for symphony concerts, you need something that will work under the bright stage lights. And eInk would be ideal in that it will work both under bright stage lighting conditions as well as in dark conditions with stand lights. It's more of a direct replacement for paper music.
