Transition to Electronic Music Readers

A search of the topic on the board, let alone the internet yields no shortage of articles and advice, but I thought I'd revisit this idea given how quickly technology changes.

I'd like to get, at least somewhat, away from paper music. It's much easier to carry a tablet than a bunch of etude books, and nothing blows away in the wind during outdoor concerts when your reading music off an electronic device--to name a few advantages. (Then again something IS affected a lot by rain that wasn't before, lol.)

I was thinking, to save money, to go with one of Apple's older (but still sold by Apple) Ipads. Famous last words I know, but I don't see myself needing the Ipad for much more than storing and reading music, and surfing the web.

1) Does anyone have strong feelings that older Ipads are not large enough or have enough memory for this clarinetists to store his clarinet music? It's not like I'll be storing much of the IMSLP catalog on it. 2) Does anyone swear by a Google, or Samsung, or Microsoft tablet offering instead?

3) I understand that "Forscore" is "the" app for this. Thoughts? 4) Also, can anyone recommend a good foot based page turning appliance?

5) Does anyone have a favorite app for scanning existing paper music into PDF electronic format?

Thanks.
