I have no problem with the use of iPads in place of sheet music. However, I have experienced two mishaps recently involving iPads. In one performance, the (good) performer got momentarily flustered and flubbed the foot pedal page turn on his iPad. The performance had to stop and restart.
The other involved a pianist whose iPad crashed just before a performance. Much gnashing of teeth until it successfully rebooted. Having worked with technology for most of my life, I guess I know how much can go wrong. There's not much wind to blow away sheet music in a concert hall!

The software out there now already allows annotations, has good foot-pedal page turners. But I personally still REALLY like paper. Even when I get something for quick study from imslp.org, if I want to do anything serious with it, I print and bind it on nice, oversize paper and staple bind.
