Forget the two methods of trying to get pages on to the e-ink screen - they won't do what you want, at least in their present state of development and reading your PDFs on the LCD screen rather defeats the object of what you are trying to do.
There MAY be a way to view your documents on the e-ink screen in a flowed manner. I say may because it doesn't work in all cases but we have had reasonable first time success with it. What we do, when we have to, is convert the PDF to ePub using Calibre. In a lot of cases this is sufficient to let us read the document at a fixed zoom level, although some diagrams may displaced from their positions in the text. Our reason for doing so, even with my full sized edge, is to be able to read circuit diagrams easily.
All I can say is, try the conversion of PDF to ePub - if it works you are up and running, if it doesn't you have still learned something.

Just tried it, with no success (makes it look worse with less flexibility).
As I said, the issue isn't with the size of the screen; it's with the implementation of the software. If pressing the "Next Page" button made it go from the bottom of page 1 (where I had scrolled to) to the top of page 2, I'd be set; what it's doing is going from the bottom of page 1 to the bottom of page 2. Other than that, the PDF is perfectly readable without needing reflow.
