Is a 13-inch tablet necessary for sheet music?

Question

Accepted Answer

Strongly recommended. An 11-inch tablet shrinks standard sheet music by 30% which makes small notes and markings hard to read at performance distance. 13 inches closely matches standard US letter size (8.5 x 11 inches). Some musicians use 12.9-inch iPads in landscape for side-by-side pages.
