I have a RMPP and like it for reading and briefly annotating papers, journaling, drafting fiction. But I am so disappointed that they do not have split screen functionality. One of the core use cases for the device is reading a document and taking notes on it. Not being able to have a PDF open on one side of the screen and a notebook on the other is a huge miss.

iirc you can insert pages into a PDF or annotate directly on the page.

I do, but that's not what I'm looking for. If you annotate a PDF directly you then have to detangle your notes from the PDF on export. It is very different from having a document open that you can scroll/flip through and taking notes in their own space at the same time.
