None of the ePub or Kindle reader software nor the Kindle Previewer will emulate the display of PDFs on an eReader device. Most won't even open PDFs. You can get some idea of the ereader display by sizing Acrobat Reader's window to match the size of the display on an eReader, but the overall rendition is not all that accurate. At least you can see the size of the text and other elements.
Also keep in mind that almost all dedicated ebook readers display only B&W. Color is most often available on general use tablets and on phones. You should create a test version in B&W using simple default conversion to greyscale in a photo editor to see how the greys render. You may find that you need to make modest alteration in individual colors, hue and/or brightness, to create artwork that also displays well in B&W.

Not so worried about DRM or anything. But would like to prevent people from editing the works? But probably can not do that either.

PDF supports a password protection system that is quite independent of the newer all encompassing DRM. Its possible to password lock printing and editing independently of opening. The PDF viewers in most ereaders can open PDFs that are password locked for editing and/or prints so long as they are not locked for reading.
