My recommendation is not for a particular device but for additional software after rooting.

For Kindles it is kindlepdfviewer(KOReader)

and for Sony PRS/Nook ST it is some good android pdf reader like Orion

Those who don't want to root their readers should use k2pdfopt to adjust pdfs beforehand on their PCs before transferring them to e-ink.

For A5 pdf we should just use landscape mode (cropped margins) and for A4 pdfs (both scans and textual) reflow function in k2pdfopt.
