One of the new iPadOS 26 features is Flexible Windowing. I think it replaces Slide Over / Split Screen and is one of the alternatives to Stage Manager (grouped applications) and Full Screen Apps. Stage Manager now works on all iPads with iPadOS 26.

I would not be surprised if there were not apps that didn't like being arbitrarily resized; some never even supported split screen or slide over.

There are also drop down Mac-like menus; again maybe some apps do not support those.

(I'm still waiting to learn of any reading app that supports user installed system fonts (I think iOS 9 introduced that feature)).

Kindle, Apple Books, BookFusion seem to behave well.
