I never read pdf on e-reader.
I have no pdf viewers installed on T1 and T2.

If I absolutely have to read a pdf on e-reader, I always convert pdf to something else first.
If pdf does not contain OCRed text but rather scans - I do the OCRing myself too.
If pdf has two columns - I don't have a solution for that yet.

I am aware that some people do the opposite - convert other formats to pdf tailored for their reader and to their preferences. But then, no special capabilities are required from the pdf viewer.

The only exception: I use pdfs with sheet music on 9.7" PocketBook.
Because of its weight I rarely use it for anything else.
But that is not reading pdf in the usual sense.
I think I will get that rumored Sony 13.3" whatever it may cost specifically for pdf sheet-music.
