PDF's pretty much suck for anything but printing but you would have better luck with a laptop or tablet just because you can zoom in and out much faster and they have enough ram to cope with the big files trying to do that on any slow refresh eink screen is going to be frustrating at best.
This isn't really true.

The pdf standard allows for all sorts of output sizes. It doesn't limit pdfs to A4/letter or even standard paper sizes.

As long as the pdf is appropriately formatted for the device, there should be little need to zoom in and out. I read 1,000p pdfs on my t2 with no problems. I don't have problems because the pdfs are formatted in a good page & font size for the t2 (often a5 sized). I'm not zooming in and out, just flipping through the pages.
