I use an ipad with the play list on "Pages" (the Apple word processor) with those three or four songs whose lyrics I am uncertain about (or learning) after the list if I need them. I format the lyrics so they fit on the page to avoid scrolling. I do all the list creation on a laptop and use the cloud drive to put them on the ipad. And I can't play without power because I use an amp and pedals.

A big book of songs is just too awkward to deal with and I think it creates a distance with the audience, when you stop and page through trying to find one song or another. And it means you need some kind of music stand, also between you and the audience. An ipad on a clamp on the mike stand is much smaller and more functional imho.
