Sheet music on e-ink, as calm as paper.
enScore runs on Android e-ink readers and tablets that have the Google Play Store. On an e-ink screen it switches to a display made for it: no animation, the library browsed page by page instead of scrolled, and the device's physical page buttons turn the music. It does not run on e-readers that cannot install Android apps, such as a Kindle Paperwhite, a Kobo or a reMarkable.
What changes on e-ink
- No page animation, so each turn is one clean refresh
- Library, lists and search browsed page by page
- Physical page buttons and Bluetooth pedals turn pages
- Display modes tuned for paper-like screens
Which e-readers work
Any e-ink reader or tablet that runs Android with the Google Play Store can install enScore from Google Play. Because enScore is free, the quickest check is to install it and open one of your scores. Writing with a stylus works as it does on any Android tablet; how quickly ink appears depends on the device's screen.
Amazon Fire tablets are a different thing: they have colour LCD screens and install enScore from the Amazon Appstore. Kindle e-readers cannot run apps, so they cannot run enScore.
One library across your devices
The e-reader can be one device among several. With Sync, a part you mark up on an iPad, a phone or a Windows laptop is on the e-reader on your stand, and the other way round. Without Sync, everything still works on the e-reader on its own, offline.
