I don't read much pdf, otherwise I should consider a Mimas or a Note pro.
But many people regrets the 5" screen of Kobo Mini, so may be that if there was a "Kobo Mini 2" with light they would buy it immediately.

I do not agree either, because I do read a lot of pdfs on 300 dpi KoboAura1 using Koreader app, because majority of them are either paperback/hardcover pdf scans that can easily be read in portraite or landscape, or two-column A4 pdf documents without many colored graphs/tables therein (using column mode) or are one-column A4 documents with about 16 cm text width (without margins) easily legible in landscape mode (KA1' screen dimension is 12 x 16 cm).
We can also use reflow for wider A4 pdf documents (text width about 18 cm) but I rather use 10" eink or iPad in that case.
So, as long as 10" & 13" eink are more expensive than iPad pro or Surface pro (new or used), it makes sense to read some pdfs on a lot cheaper 300 dpi 8" eink and some on a cheaper older 10" eink and lcd tablet.
Hopefully ClearInk' lcd e-paper shall change a lot of pdf reading habits in the next couple of years.
