I'll have to see how it works with a minimum of work, otherwise I could just crop the PDF and read on the One, but my eyes don't tolerate that for long.
And I just realized that the expensive "epub" versions were in fact PDFs too, so I'll have to deal anyway - or buy the paperback, but I find it more and more difficult to read paperbacks.
EDIT: well, the PDF is readable, but unpleasant, and the epub will need little work more, it is already ok, I just have to jump pages and make a decent TOC. Also on the Kobo, there are no more missing characters (those ? in a black rhomb). I don't know why they were there on the Calibre reader, because I parametered it with appropriate fonts (Calibri, Caudex, Dejavu Serif, Linux Biolinum, Noto Sans and Noto Serif, Palatino and Tinos among my fonts work with ancient Greek).

If you must work with a PDF then take a look at k2pdfopt, which can preprocess the PDF file in seveal ways to make it more fit for reading on your kindle. I use this myself for a magazine I get in PDF format.
