It's probably the 7.8" screen size (less resizing required) that gets them into that Aura One as a PDF viewer. If your reading is primarily simple text PDF files with no complex formatting, it loads and renders them decently fast.
This does not describe the majority of PDF files.
I've used the One to read game source books, but it takes ages to load and turn pages once you get a lot of graphics or other page elements (like tables, specific object placement on the page) involved. Single page graphics (like a comic scanned into PDF), load okay... but aren't great either, even if the resolution and screen size are usually high enough to read them. But the large screen makes for a better PDF reader then say, the basic Kindle with its low resolution 6" screen.
You'd be better off with even a cheap tablet, as the PDF reader software on Android tablets or Apple iPads is so much better than the Kobo solution.
