Bluetooth Pageturners
on: February 09, 2017, 11:48:08 PM
Hello!

I have an iPad and am finally considering getting a bluetooth pageturner. AirTurn is the name that I've known for a while, and seems to be the most popular, but I the PageFlip Firefly seems to be a great choice too. To make things more complicated, the updated version of the Airturn, the "Duo", seems to be not as good as its predecessor.

What do you all use? Does anyone have the PageFlip Firefly or the AirTurn Duo? Thoughts?

I have a PageFlip firefly. It seems to work fine, but I need a better tablet because the one I have now is just too slow, makes me crazy. So haven't really used it much yet. It works well with my laptop, but that isn't practical.

I use an AirTurn.  Although it will work with my tablet, I mostly use it at home to read scores off a large monitor attached by VGA cable to my Linux laptop.  It works very well, although the time taken to turn a page depends on the score.  Large pdfs with many pages / high quality scabs will turn slower than small files.

This is a great idea! You could definitely reduce the quality and/or split those pdfs.
