Switching from paper to digital suggestions

I'm somewhat of a beginner and tired of flipping pages... Suggestions? I was planning on getting a large screen android tablet (like 14") and a bluetooth pedal to change pages. I've also heard forScore is a good app for page reading but don't know much about it. I have lots of PDF's for my music already.

Am I missing anything? Or anyone have better ideas? I don't know much about this stuff, trying to spare myself from future frustration.

Thank you!

Awkward Fingering... Suggestion?

I can play this... but not as directed. I slide my 4th down from Ab to G, occasionally I don't hit G quite like I should but usually it's ok.

How can I use my pinky? I can hit the Ab no problem with it, but it's my right ring finger afterwards... it's too tight to fit between the black keys, and super awkward trying to shift down low enough to avoid them (hit the G lower on the key). I end up playing messy, hitting an incorrect key.

Suggestions? Should I just roll with it, play like I have been? Or somehow correct this now. I can almost play the whole song without issue, fingering is fine otherwise. Still a beginner here, about 4 months in. Curious how important this is to follow as directed.

Thank you!

Struggling with Codas... Sheet Music Reader Suggestions (Ipad)

Trying to relearn the piano after a very long hiatus. It's slow but I'm getting there... One thing that really frustrates me are all the codas, repeats etc in the sheet music. Not only confusing, but I hate flipping pages back and forth. I'd much rather have 6 pages of steady play. I'm not up on the new technology, I was playing in the 80's before.

Anyways, someone recommended using my Ipad vs paper and getting a sheet music reader, they said it's a game changer. Any recommendations? Ideally I'd like one that can pick up my pace by hearing me play and advancing accordingly. I have a Yamaha P-45 so I can use a midi cable. Also heard of bluetooth pedals to flip pages, but helping me with codas would be huge. I do have a small library in Music Notes that I'd assume I can transfer, I have PDF's as well.

Thank you!
