For academic and technical literature without cropping,get a device with 13.3" screen.

Don't completely agree about the cropping issue, because there is no need for the cropping of A4 pdfs on the newer higher-resolution 10.3" readers either, if we don't mind reading in landscape mode, two screens per page and with an approxim. original font size, instead of a considerably magnified text after the margin cropping.
The width of A4 pdf document is 21 cm (8.27 inch); US Letter is a bit wider at 21.6 cm (8.5 inch)
10.3" Boox Note's screen is 1872×1404 @ 227 ppi, i.e. 1872/227= 8.3 inch = 21 cm in landscape
13.3" Boox Max 2 is 2200x1650 @ 207 ppi i.e. 1650/207 = 8 inch = 20.2 cm in portraite
So, for those who would like to read A4/US-Letter sized pdf literature on Boox Max 2 in portraite mode for the whole page view, it is the same (in terms of the need for cropping) as reading on Boox Note in landscape mode, in fact, Boox Note's landscape is a bit wider and has got a bit higher resolution.
Of course, 13.3" readers could be used for reading of a lot wider pdf documents if used in landscape mode too.
