k2pdfopt has got two modes, native and bitmap(default).

If our pdf is in A5 format, we should use native mode, that will retain original pdf size and OCR, just cropping the borders.

If our pdf is in A4 format, using default bitmap mode will reflow pdf (textual or scanned) resulting in a lot bigger pdf if our pdf was textual because it will be turned to bitmap.

We should also do the OCR again on that bitmap for pdf to be searchable.

There are probably pdf apps for rooted android readers that mark progress in some way.

Sony PRS T1 marks the progress but I would usually use k2pdfopt to adjust pdf beforehand.
