alternativepets - I don't know if you are including MobileSheets in that list of apps, but you can both collapse the annotations toolbar (and it will save that state), or you can enable settings to automatically move MobileSheets below the toolbar and below stage manager if desired.

The TCL NxtPaper 14 
A 14,3 inch screen. 4:3 ratio. A4 format(europe). You can chsnge into a si called E-ink mode. By the way it is not a E-ink device. And a color mode by clicking one button.
It is a android (14) tablet.
Price at the moment around 350-400 euros.
With a pencil and Case 475 euro.

 
I don't think it's available in the US and Canada, at least I couldn't find it...  did you?

That TCL tablet looks really promising.

After some more research.

I am confident that the aspect ratio is nowhere near what is advertised.

I had a chance to checkout the TCL Nxtpaper 14 today.

It is exactly as tall as my ipad 12.9, but is also about an inch wider. 

The 3 modes are very interesting, and I'd say its the best display of any tablet I've used, eInk or retina, without spending $2000+ on an ipad.

Lenovo X 61 has the correct aspect ratio. Some older 17 inch VGA monitors can be used with Azule computers that are smaller than a cell phone. I have this setup in my studio. Slightly portable. My YouTubevideo in 5 parts. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SCEAZSCaJA...V3cmhvZGVz

I have recently tried the TCL A4 size tablet. It is a very good size for reading music off and has lots of other functionality. With the 3 display modes it is very good for reading.  However it is no good in daylight as it is a normal backlit screen and not nearly bright enough in sunlight. Fine and dandy If you only play indoors

I just bought the Lenovo P12 tablet, but was disappointed. When I view sheet music on it, the bottom 15% of the screen remains empty. I'd love to find a table with the right aspect ratio for 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet music!

I also have a Lenovo P12 tablet and I love it for sheet music!  I set Mobile Sheets scaling to fit width and vertical scroll.  It's usually true that the page doesn't take up the whole screen, but the next page shows immediately below it - sometimes you can see the whole top line of the next page, giving you a bit more freedom in timing of page turns.

3:2 is better than 4:3! Microsoft Surface has 3:2 ratio. Don't forget that all of the reading/notation apps have their editing bar across the bottom or top, covering over the top/bottom of the page of music when in annotation mode! I never would have gotten an iPad if I had known this. For me, this drastically interferes with writing and rehearsing, as the editing bar covers up part of the music (unless the music has big margins). So in 4:3 iPad, to write a quick mark on the bottom/top of a page, I have to enter annotation mode, then drag the page away from the editing bar, then write, and then exit annotation mode to continue rehearsing.

The Surface Pro is on my wish list mainly for using Mobile sheets:

Starting with the Surface Pro 8, the screen size is 13" with Windows 11. Cost is rather high, even on refurbished devices

Surface Pro 7 and below has a 12.3" display with Windows 10. Cost is much lower but may not be worth it.

It would be interesting to hear from anyone who uses one or the other for Mobile Sheets and if size matters.

Size matters to me. LOL I'm getting old (aren't we all) and my eyesight isn't what it was. I have used Mobilesheets on both the SP4 and SP7. I was having a little trouble reading the screen on the SP7, and the only Surface with a larger screen that could be folded like a tablet was the Surface Laptop Studio. It has a 14.4" screen. But it's even more expensive than the Surface Pros, and it's really heavy. I used it for several years, though. I eventually talked myself into a Surface Pro 9, which as you point out, has a 13" screen. The increase from the 12.3" screen made a difference to me. Not as good as the Surface Laptop Studio's 14.4" screen, but better than 12.3". I have also used it on a SP11 with the OLED screen.  Recently, though, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S10 Ultra, mainly because our church's software is Android or iOS, and Windows removed the feature to run Android. It has a 14.6" screen that is 16:10. If you put an image of a 8.5 X 11 piece of paper on it, it will have space at the top and bottom. However, there's two things about that. First, I always crop music on the sides. This makes the page more like 7.5 X 11 or something, so that makes it fit better. Also, You can use that extra bit of space. I put the Mobilesheets task bar at the top and the Android taskbar at the bottom.
