A4 two-column or multi-column pdfs pose no problem though.
I guess, new 8" eink readers with light and high resolution should be good enough even for A4 documents (in landscape, margins cropped) for people with normal vision or nearsighted.
Also 8" should be large enough for the whole A5 pdf page to be showed in portraite (again for people with normal vision).
Reading A4 pdf color magazines should also be possible but probably not as a great experience.
