I've been to many concerts where simple letter size display with simple page forward/back controls would have made the performer's life much simpler. It's a thought for someone.

I especially like the idea of an in-built microphone so that the stand can 'read' the music and turn the page automatically.

Not yet a reality, though, I think.
