A quick question.
Don't you think that installing any of these would violate the warranty terms.
Also, what I think is that it won't be able to maintain the basic formatting of the PDF files but I'll definitely give it a try.
Did you encounter any problem using them?
But thanks for the reply mate.
It definitely was helpful.

You may think you don't like reading on an LCD display, but believe it or not it's still better than scrolling around the PDF viewer on an e-ink reader.

Majority of my scanned pdfs are A5 sized or below because that's the size for majority of books there, so it is quite handy to read them on 6" e-ink reader in landscape mode zoomed in without margins.
On my Sony Prs T1 I can choose whether to use buttons or fingers(pen) on touch screen to flip through such cropped pdf (e.g. in k2pdfopt for landscape), it takes usually two or three screens per one pdf page and about second or two per screen.
If we make an quick pdf OCR then we can also use search function, dictionary, highlights etc. and if our reader sports a scribble function like Sony Prs T series then we can also quickly annotate sticky notes by keyboard or by handwriting or scribble on pdf directly.
If we are not happy with our native pdf reader because it lacks some zooming options, it's slow in flipping through zoomed pdf in landscape mode etc. we can quickly and easily optimize pdf beforehand using k2pdfopt.

PDF on Kindle Paperwhite using KOReader

Real problem are A4 sized pdfs (if not multi-coulmn pdf) because even with margins completely cropped, 12 cm landscape width of 6" reader is just too small for comfortable reading of 16-18 cm wide text.
We can use k2pdfopt again, though, to reflow scans(bitmaped pdfs) and also textual pdfs(vectors) if our native pdf reader is slow at rendering reflowed pdf text or removes pictures from pdf file during reflow process.

but if this is too slow for our likings we can use k2pdfopt to reflow pdf on PC beforehand.

For A4 pdfs and academic purposes 10" e-ink readers are better suited devices but a lot of people would still find them slow for academic purposes and would rather use tablets instead.

Those who really need to read on e-ink because of eye strain or enviroment, could try to use tablet simultaneously for note-taking, quick referencing and page flipping, color, dictionaries etc. while reading on e-ink majority of the time.
