The main reason to buy 902/903 is for reading regular books.
Not on a tiny 5" or 6" screen, but pages of the same size as in real paper books.
For a feeling that you are actually reading real paper book.

As to pdfs, unless they are created for PocketBook 902/903 size screen specifically, they are still difficult to read.
In A4 documents, letters are too small, re-flow does not work very well (again, no margins to speak of), zooming and moving the page around - also very unpleasant.
In same cases landscape orientation helps, but again, only 1/3 of a page at a time or so.

So yes, 902/903 is better for pdf than smaller devices, and also it has 2 pdf viewers to choose from, but still not good enough.

I suggest the following:
1. To convert pdf books to other formats, such as epub
2. To regenerate pdf for this specific screen size with the margins of your preference.
3. To read technical documentation on a PC.
