Here's the case.
Thirty elderly men in a TTBB Men's Chorus, with director and accompanist. Currently paper based with a large library. I am a long time user (chordpro, not sheet music) and we are going digital. Church practise hall without internet. Looking for suggestions on how to proceed.
I am looking to buy about 15 tablets. Amazon Fire 10. Two for the accompanist in two page mode. (I had considered a large touch screen, but forums and portability suggest two tablets) More will be purchased if the choristers accept the new technologies. A large TV for all to see may be placed in front of the director.
My questions for you wise and wonderful people are...
Is Amazon Fire a good choice? (The weight, screen and price look good)
How to easily update many tablets when a new concert is planned? Each user will want to keep their annotations from previous performances. Bluetooth at Practise? Setup Wifi at Practise? Send out email for users to update their tablet at home?
Should each tablet have a separate amazon account or share one?
Should we do a mass scanning of library before rollout, or just a few pieces?
Thanks for any opinions! JONK
