That would be very hard to play; at least, it would for me. There's no flow, you're going back and forth from left to right very rapidly. Now look at this:
|o o o o | o o o o |o o o o | o o o o |o o o o | o o o o |o o o o | o o o o |

That is much easier. It's actually the reason why some classical music is written in A4 landscape (think music with long runs, for example, such as up and down scales), and not in A4 portrait. It puts the same number of notes on one page, but the lines are MUCH longer with fewer breaks.
An Aura ONE in landscape would be too wide though. For my chosen font size, the KA1 is about the perfect size.

That is a very smart analogy. I play classical Horn (commonly the French Horn to the English speakers), and I know that phrasing can really be messed up when something is broken up over lines or pages, especially when sight reading. I've never considered how that would impact reading speed. Good thinking!
Now, I want an e-reader big enough for Orchestra music, with the ability to go back to the right location for repeats!
