I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

Well yes, any E-Ink device should be able to open a PDF, but PadMu gives you the ability to sync two devices so you can place them next to each other and display two pages at once. I think it has additional features specifically for working with sheet music, like an infra-red sensor for turning pages by waving your hands in front of the device. I know the Gvido has that (Edit: But the PadMu actually doesn't; it's all software enhancements and the dual display mode).

This review showcases the side-by-side display (double mode) feature at around 4:20. Can Onyx devices do that? I haven't checked, but my guess is no.

If the main difference is the dual screen thing then it's not much use for me. My main use case with sheet music is writing it, not reading for performance - so I'd actually prefer to work on just one screen at a time.
