Yes, it may look better on a Voyage, but overall, I'd say most wouldn't be good enough.
I know the KDX is 9.7", I've owned one for years. What I wrote was that even with a 9.7" screen, most PDFs don't look good to me. But the Voyage has more pixels, a faster CPU, and might have better PDF SW.

The PDF at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33283 has a page size about 5.4"x8" (9.7" diagonal) and might look OK on a Voyage, even without margin trim or zoom and pan. Of course margin trim and zoom might also help.

The PDF at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41008 was customized by the uploader for a Sony PRS-505 screen. It has a page size approximately 3.6"x4.8" and a margin possibly too small even for you.

About 3 years ago I tried to add a small margin. The result is uploaded here.
