Google Translate now supports Slide Out/Split Screen. That'll be nice even if the reading app doesn't, for some quick translations of what you may be reading.

I don't quite understand the slide out but in the Kindle app I can slide my emails from the right and read any while still in a book. I'm on an iPad mini 2 on 9.1

Slide Over is supported on iPad Mini 2 or Air or later. That's what you are seeing, and it is useful enough. It lets you 'park' an app for quick access and return, whereas before you had to use the task switcher or 4-finger swipe to go forth and back (typical application is having a note app or password manager, handy for quick access). But the Kindle app itself could appear as a 'quick access app' if and when Amazon implements support for that.

That probably would not be very useful in itself, but implementing that would also include (on iPad Air 2 or Mini 4 or Pro) ability to run side by side in true multitasking mode. This supports a broader range of use cases, for example, having a browser session where you can look up things you are reading about, take notes, compare original language and its translation, etc.

Evernote now supports multitasking. For me that was probably more important than reading apps, at least it is easier to copy/paste now. For example, the Kindle app doesn't support sharing except with FB, Twitter, Goodreads, so copy/paste has to be used for everything else.

Not that it ever worked correctly, but Nook app no longer supports Split View and Slide Over with the latest update. I guess you could call that a 'bug fix'.

GoodReader now supports Slide Over and Split View.

BTW, Nook removed the feature in a recent update. Not much of a loss there, it did not work very well.
