I considered the Onyx (recommended here) but unless your Dad is actually missing vision, where he has to use the largest text sizes, an Oasis is just as good and considerably less expensive. I typically use current Kindle size 7 or 8 in Bookerly and a screen just a little bigger would be nice. As mentioned, weight is an issue which is one reason I limit my reading with a Fire to online surfing and the newspaper. It's heavy. That is what will happen with a larger ereader.

As to pdfs, I've never been happy with them on ereaders - they are very geared towards tablets, IMHO.
