PDF files are office files, not e-books. Besides, if you switch from portrait to landscape in a PDF file and "enlarge fonts" that way, you will
reduce the visible content on the screen. You will no longer see the same content in landscape mode as you did in portait mode, if you enlarge the fonts. That will be accompanied (as consistently stated earlier) with the necessity to
flip pages more, or in the case of PDF files, even to
scroll within a
single (!) page, because the page would no longer completely fit on the screen in landscape mode with enlarged fonts compared to portrait mode.
I'm not "enforcing opinions" anywhere. I have several times clearly stated that buying a mini is perfectly legitimate. I own mini tablets myself. I'm explaining why I would never choose an 8-inch tablet over a 10-inch tablet as my
primary tablet. What's wrong with that? I'm also clearly stating my justification for that position: because fonts are physically larger on a bigger tablet than on a smaller tablet, therefore easier on the eyes; if you make them as large on the small tablet, you need to flip pages more. Those are facts of physics and mathematics that cannot be disputed, just like 2 + 2 = 4 is non-negotiable. If, despite those facts, you or anyone else goes for an 8-inch or 7-inch tablet as their primary tablet, that's perfectly fine!
One should only be clearly aware of the disadvantages of doing so, and to me, the disadvantage discussed here is the main one.
