I've tried reducing screen brightness and changing the background (sepia, etc.) which didn't seem to help much when reading on an LCD screen. If there was a suggestion that has come along short of dancing sky clad widdershins around an oak tree at midnight, I've probably tried it. I don't seem to be bothered by blue light so I seldom use blue light reduction on my eReaders, tablets, phone or laptop. I'll also sit outside during my breaks when it's isn't raining which makes eInk the best way to go.
Most of my PDF reading is tech manuals where I'm looking up information and not continually reading. For PDFs, my laptop is the goto device with it's CPU, RAM and larger screen. The iPad Pro is the next choice but I keep the manuals on my eReaders as well. They may not be the best device for PDFs but something is better than nothing.
One note is that the weight of the device becomes important when reading for long periods. Of the 3 devices I use most often, the Forma weighs 197g, the Clara HD 204g and the iPad Pro weight 477g. After a couple of hours, that extra weight is very noticeable.
