Hi mobileread community!

I am a musician, and have long been intrigued by the idea of having a tablet or an e-ink display to store my sheet music. It would have been a huge advantage since I am not a big fan of carrying tons of paper around, and I tend to lose them quite often too.

Use: I will bring the tablet when practicing or other occasions it may be in help. It should not be too bulky/ugly. And it should be able to read pdfs.

So I have finally found out (I think) that I will be getting an e-ink display and not a normal tablet. I find the jungle of e-ink tablets confusing and difficult to navigate in. 6 inch readers are by far the most popular, and there are fewer of the bigger e-readers that I will need.

I have seen some 9,7 inch tablets and that seems like a reasonable size for my needs.

So, I've come over the Onyx Boox M92 and it looks really cool! (actually I first found the icarus thing, but it is the same device?).

My question to you is if the Onyx Boox M92 a good choice for me. It costs like 279 € (link) and I don't want to use that much money if it is a waste of money. Eventually, are there any good/similar tablet that you think will fit me better?

Why I don't want a android or ios tablet: not the same to read from, i want to try e-ink, i would have started to use the android and ios tablets to other things like games..
