And yes, the advantage is that those same PDF's, which are made for my 5", all show exactly the same on my 6" devices.
And I cropped the margins on one "professional" PDF (which my husband uses for study atm), and that made it much more easy to use on his Kindle. It shows only a slightly smaller font-size than I'm used to on my BBMini.

Sorry for asking very basic questions, but I didn't experiment with PDFs yet:
Let's assume, the "original" document is DIN A4, does have 25 lines, on average 8 words per line and on average 150 letters per line.
What could I do with this document?
a.) I could stick to it, read it in landscape = basically split it in 2 portions.
That's workable, at least the original layout remains intact.
But it's not very convenient.
b.) I could zoom "fit to page" (or width). Probably you can't read the text anymore.
On iRex iLiad you could zoom into the area on interest. This would be fine to check a formula, a graph or a single sentence. But you can't read an entire document of course.
c.) You could re-format the file.
What does this mean?
Does this mean, instead of 8 words per line in DIN A4, it would be 5 words for example in DIN A5?
Wouldn't this basically be the same as reflowing the text?
What about formulas and graphs?
What about columns?
(Of course, you could DTP the whole document).
--->Does switching the PDF driver to DIN A5 output format really work?
