Au contraire! The hassle is flipping windows or sharing screen real estate to go between your research book and the paper you are writing.
Two devices is the only way that makes sense.
One day, when reading, and writing and researching can be done equally well on one device, though I really can't imagine that device's form factor or human interface, maybe it will be two of the SAME device.
Now, FARTHER down the road, when our data is projected into our field of vision by direct neural interface, and we can switch from content creation to a research display just by shifting our attention, THEN one device...the one implanted in our brains....will suffice.
