Unless you have severe defects, reading glasses (spectacles) are fine. It's only 9.7" though staggeringly better resolution than a Kindle DXG. Certainly some A4 PDFs (10 pt) would be fine. I wrote 10" and only some things need 13". I use a 10" tablet and ONLY for PDFs. I found the Kindle DXG was far too slow and the low resolution meant the original Kobo Aura H2O 6.8" was actually better for the PDFs that could be read on it. I do expect the higher resolution Libra H2O will be better for PDFs, but still generally useless to read a scanned textbook, 1920s to 1960s scanned magazines and many datasheets or schematics, which is my only use of PDFs other than proof checking PDF creation for POD paper print (I use either 15" HD laptop or 4K TV plugged into laptop for that).
