A lot of pdf books there are about A5 size though.

We can easily and quickly read, annotate and scribble those A5 pdfs on Sony Prs-t readers if we use k2pdfopt app to quickly crop it for landscape mode beforehand.

Also a lot of A4/letter-size pdfs are two-column pdfs that can easily be read using Sony's two-column mode or cropped with k2pdfopt's 2-column mode beforehand.

Those who don't mind using two e-ink readers simultaneously can e.g. buy used Kindle DX for reading and Sony PRS-T for highlighting, annotating, scribbling, dictionary, quicker browsing etc. or they can simply use some 7" lightweight tablet and get even quicker auxiliary device with color.

e.g. if we wrapped one of those 246-280 grams tablets like Xperia Z3, Lenovo S5000, Galaxy Tab 4 Nook etc. around our wrist instead of a watch, we could hold both e-ink(hopefully DPT-S1) and tablet in one hand and scribble with another.

There will probably be no quick enough, big, color e-ink reader around for years to come, so those who need to read A4 documents on e-ink screen better get used to using auxiliary color tablet when they need color, quicker scribbling in color, quicker browsing etc.
