Last time I checked Kindle Create has a limit of 100 PDF bookmarks that can be converted to Print Replica. I think this limit may be higher with Send To Kindle but would also need to check that.
Magnetic attachment is a convenience only, if you need to secure it (as one often does) you need a case with a loop or tray to hold it more securely. It is same with Apple Pencil and iPad.

The advantage for me is that I can add cover art, and proper title and author info.
In the end, it doesn't matter. Even after the conversion to KFX from PDF, either from "Send to Kindle" or the manual Kindle Creator→Kindle Previewer→Calibre process, the rendering of the final file is WAY TOO SLOW. The PDF I have that took 30 seconds to do a page turn, now takes 15 seconds. An improvement, but still unacceptable.
What I really want is a large screen eink device that can render PDFs quickly and easily. I know that eink will never be as fast as an LCD/LED screen. But it shouldn't take 15 seconds to turn a page in a KFX file with graphics. This is either some really bad software, or the CPU in this thing is seriously underpowered.
I think I need to take it back.
