Filestore is simply where your files are stored. Either the built in storage on your tablet or the SD card you can plug in. Basically with Orpheus, you organise your music files into folders and tell Orpheus where those folders are. If you do it in Dropbox, it makes it easier to update. You set up a Dropbox link and you can then access the files from Dropbox. You do need to have wifi connection first time but Orpheus will cache the files so you can work offline.
Geoff - which device are you using again?
Correct me if needed, but you are also running Linux, yes? (I am on Xubuntu)
Do you have any issues with reading the internal storage or SD card via USB to transfer files to/from Linux?
What Linux program, if any, do you use to edit/annotate or manage your PDF files, Calibre?
Okay, I use Mobilesheets much the same way. I find music on my laptop and put it into Dropbox, then import it and store it in the Mobilesheets all on the Kindle. I also have the ultimateguitar.com app on my Kindle and I use it almost as much as Mobilesheets, and you can access you favorites without a connection.
Rollie - Which Kindle are you using?
Do you find the screen resolution enough to see the text and chord diagrams?
I see the Kindle always at a tempting price, and I have other iOS and Android devices, but the Kindle is almost disposable for the cost when on promo sale, and they have a 'Kids' version that has a built-in heavy rubber bumper case which seems like it would be more able to handle being tossed around in a carry bag and for gigging and uke fests, rather than need to get something like an Otterbox, or heavy vinyl case at additional cost.
I could just cut a slab of plexiglass or ABS and use a rubber band to hold it on to protect the screen from impact if I went with a 'kids' version of the Kindle...(or any tablet with a heavy rubber/silicone sleeve)
kohanmike - like you, I too have readability concerns, and even now need a new and stronger prescription because to read the screen on my 4" phone, I have to hold it at arms length otherwise the text is blurred, and it seems bifocals are in my future - so is is really necessary to get a larger tablet like the 12-13" size, or do you think that the pixel density on the 7" tablets, whether iPad Mini, Android 7" or Kindle 7" are good enough?
I do not know why I would be concerned about using a stylus vs. my finger, since so far I am ok with using a finger for most other tablet functions, what app or activity are you doing that requires such precision?
My interest here like many of you, is for a dedicated tablet for music sheets, with some editing/notation features if possible, since I'd rather not have to create and drag around one or more 3-inch, 3-ring binders will all the pages in plastic sheet protectors if I can help it.
I have not used dropbox yet, but would do so, or use my existing 15gb of storage on Google Drive or the FTP space on my own domain for remote sync and backup (maybe even setup a self-hosted Nextcloud). I prefer not to rely on 3rd-party services though, and my own FTP space is unlimited and PDF files are not big enough to warrant an upgraded monthly or annual storage plan...
edited to add: I also have a Mac Mini running Sierra that I use for songwriting with GarageBand and iTunes to manage my iOS devices, so if an app has a desktop companion for Mac or Linux I am leaning that way, (after nearly 25 yrs of DOS and Windows) I will never use Windows (aka the spyware & malware OS) again, even at gunpoint, I'll eat the lead rather than be parasitically abused by Microsoft.
Any and all ideas regarding the above are welcome.
