My problem with eInk devices for PDFs is that eInk devices are generally optimised for battery life rather than performance. On my iPad I can flip through a PDF and the pages turn as quickly as I can flip it. On the videos I've seen of large-screen eInk devices with PDFs, a 1-2s delay when turning a page seems to be normal, and that's something I don't think I could live with.

That is the main issue with the Kobo Aura 1. Despite being a top of the line e-ink reader, page turning is very slow compared to reading on a tablet. I read quite quickly and on an e-ink device, the slow page turns are a frustration.
The Aura One is definitely faster than the older devices I had tried but still nowhere near as quick as a tablet.
