For the comparaison, I post a picture of my M92 with a ruler.
That pdf page is 7,44 x 9.68 inch.

We can see exact pdf dimension by pressing Ctrl+D or using "Distance Tool" usually under the Menu--Comments--Measurements.

7,44 inch width is about 189 mm, so way more than recommended 16-17 cm for optimal size of letters after cropping of margins.

Margins on that page are about 19 mm each, meaning the text width itself is about 150 mm.

So, for 150 mm text to be comfortably legible on 12 cm (landscape width for 6" e-ink), its letters size sholud not be to small in original document, in the first place.

Here is your page cropped (in Briss) and printed in Adobe Reader (posters mode 4.7x3.54 inch or about 119x85 and 119x89).

First file takes three screens in e-reader, another one just two screens but has got 2-3 mm of unused space to the left and right (i.e. smaller letters).
