I usually choose pdf (with OCR layer behind the exact image) even if there is available good epub/mobi made from the scan because I want 100% accuracy for every sign/letter.
We can read A5 and A4 multi-column pdfs easily even on 6" reader by cropping the margins and using landscape for A5 pdf (takes two or three screens per page) and multi-column mode in portraite for multi-column pdfs (takes four screens per page for two-column pdf).
If our reader's pdf capability is not good enough we can crop margins or adjust pdf beforehand on PC using k2pdfopt, briss etc.
For one-column A4 pdfs we need 10" screen in landscape (or high resolution 8" if we don't mind small letters) or pdf reflow for 6" screen.
It's again good to use k2pdfopt because it can reflow even scanned image, not just ocr layer behind the image like majority of e-ink readers do, because there will be no visible ocr errors in this way i.e. we get 100% accuracy.
