Answers: Is the iPad Pro good for reading, research, and writing scripts?

• iPad Pro workflow for creative writing
• Reading and highlighting books with Kindle and Readwise
• Researching with Command and Notion
• Drafting scripts and notes in Notion on iPad
• Magic Keyboard experience and compromises on iPad Pro

What it concludes

• Readwise syncs Kindle highlights into a Readwise app and into Notion databases, creating a great research process.
• The 11-inch iPad Pro is lighter and smaller than the 12.9-inch version, making the size and weight reduction a really nice thing while reading.
• Command browser allows highlighting text and syncing directly to Readwise with far less friction than Safari.
• Notion on the iPad lacks split-screen support for two instances of the same app, but running Notion alongside Safari in split screen is a workable solution.
• The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro lacks the full size of the 12.9-inch keyboard, but users quickly adapt to it and can context-switch easily between it and a laptop.
• The addition of the touchpad and trackpad drivers in iOS makes the iPad Pro operate almost like a laptop for content creation purposes.
