With these kinds of files, Onyx's and Pocketbook's inbuilt readers still outperform Koreader. Otherwise I use Koreader as much as I can and I like it very much.
Those who would still like to read such pretty big pdf page, but luckily, also pretty uniform 6-column newspaper pages, although their 8" or 10" reader is maybe not good enough for whatever the reason e.g. is slow at rendering the zoomed page for our liking, is too flickery etc., they should simply crop the 6-column pdf beforehand, e.g. by using pdf-scissors or k2pdfopt, because Briss app says that pdf page size (28 inch x 42 inch / 71 cm x 106 cm) is too big to handle.

I've cropped it in pdfscissors using three overlapping rectangles, so that one pdf page contains two columns that can then easily and quickly be read and flipped through in Aura One's 16 cm landscape mode i.e. at agreeable 8 cm width per column.

We don't need to draw the cropping rectangle thrice but can use copy/paste instead for the last two rectangles.

Those who have Adobe Acrobat or any similar commercial pdf editor can do it there too, by cropping pdf separately three times (left, middle and right sides) and then combining those cropped pdfs thereafter, with pages combined together in a desired other.

Attachement: the first 6-column pdf page cropped into three parts using pdfscissors.
