So ultimately if you want a PDF reader that isn't excruciatingly slow and rage-inducing you don't even want an ereader because eInk itself is the reason PDFs suck on my Kobo Aura HD.
I can't be the only person that finds viewing a PDF on these things an exercise not unlike having a cavity filled. Even if I could fit the whole page at once on a 13" eReader the page turning itself is tedious enough to make me give up. I am not saying it's terrible for everyone and I'm really glad to see people want and use this feature, I just wish it was better for my use case and selfishly would rather the experience was better at something so basic (viewing a document) rather than adding enhancements that I'll never benefit from. I'm being a bit selfish.
