This is what scares me most actually, as I noticed I need to keep my ebook reader far away from my eyes and increase font size, particularly at night. Reading half-page pdfs would be necessary here, not sure how convenient it is, though.

Option B - keep my 7.8 inch Inkpad for epub reading and add a 13 inch device for pdf reading.
Advantage: single-page pdf display is possible.
Disadvantage: no 13 inch device exist with backlight, which would heavily restrict its use.
Have you considered a tablet? A Surface Pro, HP Chromebook X2 or iPad Pro will have a nearly 13" screen that is lighted and in general, tablets seem to handle PDFs better than e-ink devices (from what I've heard. I never read PDFs on an e-ink device).
