Larger epaper devices might theoretically capable of displaying pdf, but only with dificulty (how many DX owners are happy with pdf?). Does not sound like your dream device is not possible, but nobody makes it yet.
Perhaps you can be persuaded to humour me in my (perhaps false) belief that that that particular requirement in itself isn't a problem (that belief is based on watching youtube videos of several e-ink based e-readers displaying PDFs in portrait mode, and the fact that I can crop PDFs to remove the borders before putting them on the reader). I'll be disabused of that notion if I settle on one and it turns out not to be true when I try it out in a shop, but for now my problem is more figuring out whether the rest of my requirements are feasible -- those other requirements are more complicated to figure out, for me!
