Careful with that assumption NatCh! It depends what format and size your article starts in as to what will happen to it when you print to pdf. Viewing a scaled down A4 PDF would be no different from viewing something that you had scaled down to A5, if the whole document was scaled down (e.g. you keep the formatting) - in which case - why bother, either way you'll be reading very small text. If you have your article in Word (or similar) and you change the paper size (see iRex's guidelines on their site) then print to virtual pdf of the same size - you'll have big text, it'll be easy to read ... but the layout will have changed ...
If you're printing from a webpage - just save as a webpage, it reflows anyway and you get the same size text - right? (I think..)
In terms of device - you have these same issues on any device (it a format thing not a device thing) the iLiad currently can read more formats so so have a better chance of converting stuff to something that reads well on it, so for your articles is still probably the best choice (for reading your articles) out of the 2 devices you're considering ...
