I just fumbled by chance in a YouTube post (fresh like lettuce) by Dr. Grigor Khachatryan, signing as Assistant Professor of Piano Concordia College in Moorhead. It will probably answer to questions posed by performers, originally in this thread.

Have you been searching for the perfect tablet to use in your recitals? Onyx Boox Max 2 is a strong contender. Watch this video to see why it is the best tablet currently on market for professional chamber musicians, pianist and concert artists in general. I will give 10 important reasons that set this device apart from the strong competition such as the iPad Pro and the best among the Android tablets. Onyx Boox Max 2 is not to be confused with the Onyx Boox Max Carta. The two devices look extremely similar. The Max 2, or as in other countries also called Max 2 Pro is the latest version and has much more capabilities than the Onyx Boox Max Carta, however I would assume that the vast majority of the features which a concert musician is concerned with would be quite similar between the devices. Onyx Boox Max 2 can connect to many pedals through a fast Bluetooth connection and you can download scores directly to your device using the WiFi capabilities and websites such as www.imslp.org. The battery life on this device is measured in weeks and it look extremely elegant on stage. The page turns are fast and can be executed in four different ways, hands, pen, pedals and the page turn buttons on the screen. If you miss a page turn, it's most likely your fault. The viewing angles on the screen are exceptional and it is remarkable how you can use this device under direct sunlight.
