![]() ![]() ![]() I have my 9.7″ iPad Pro running iOS 11, so I fooled around a bit to see if I could find a solution. Knightwise asked whether perhaps iOS 11 might fix the problem. Maybe they tried to emulate that in the iPad experience by not letting you have anything in split screen while reading? One of the joys of reading on the dedicated Kindle devices is that you can’t be distracted. I opened the Kindle app on my iPad Pro and confirmed that they haven’t implemented split screen, even though split screen came out in iOS 9 back in 2015! There could be a reason they didn’t ever deploy split screen on the Kindle app. ![]() Drives me batty.īack to Knightwise’s problem. It’s so stupid – the keyboard literally fills 40% of the screen. More than a year after the 12.9″ iPad Pro came out, Facebook to this day has not yet implemented the API to recognize this bigger device and give us the proper keyboard. It takes up at most 20% of the display leaving the rest of the screen for your application. The 12.9″ iPad Pro is enormous, so a full-sized, on-screen keyboard can fit quite nicely in a small area across the bottom of the screen in landscape mode. It’s up to the developers to use these APIs. Apple provides APIs (application programmable interfaces) to allow developers to do interesting things with their apps. Let’s listen to him explain this in his own words: In that way he can have his two windows up side by side and highlight his book with the stylus in one window while making a mind map in the second window. In the mean time, he’s using his Surface Pro 4, running Windows 10 with the Microsoft stylus. The problem he found though was that he couldn’t use the Kindle app in split screen and wonders whether iOS 11 would fix the problem. He was hoping to get an iPad Pro and use split screen to view the book on one side and the mind map on the other side. He outlines his talks using a Mind Mapping program called X-Mind from. He uses these highlights in creation of talks he gives to other entrepreneurs. He reads his books electronically in the Kindle app in ePub format, and he likes to highlight as he reads. Our old friend Knightwise is back with an interesting problem to be solved. ![]()
