I think your frustration and lack of familiarity with the software might have colored your perception when it came to actual PDF rendering abilities.

Mind, iBooks should've been pre-installed on shop models and it can definitely display PDFs in fullscreen paged mode.

For reference (dimensions calculated from diagonal size and aspect ratio):

Letter
8.5" x 11"

Pro 12.9
7.8" x 10.3"

Pro 10.5
6.3" x 8.4"

iPad 9.7
5.8" x 7.8"

Android 10.1" 1920x1200
5.4" x 8.6"

Android 8.0" 1920x1200
4.2" x 6.8"

1. Oh I see, i just did little math to confirm how close above list is from 4:3 ratio, and all ipads are 4:3, but the 2 androids are not.. they are smaller in width than they should to be 4:3.
2. Seems the difference between iPad Pro 10.5" and the new iPad 9.7" (2018) is around 1cm extra in both dimensions.. so logically i would imagine its not worth to pay the double for the extra cm (and the other pro nice to have feature that screen adapts colors/brightness depending on ambient light) ?
