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.

I wish I could but I have tried two tablets now, in 2014 I got a Galaxy Note 8, and then recently I got a Samsung S2 Tab 8.. with both I got eyestrain within minutes. I think perhaps my eyes are just sensitive to whatever screens they use on tablets, as oddly I've been looking at laptop screens for 16 years - 14 hours a day without any problems, also I can look at my Samsung Galaxy Grand 5" phone screen for hours without problems. Very strange. So I have had to resort to E-ink
