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.

Yes, Koreader is much better than normal software of Kobo (Nickel) for pdf. I use it when I read pdf but I still think that if I would need to read pdf everyday I would consider a bigger screen device.
But, as I said before, it is question of personal taste and, of course, of the cost of device: a KAO is considerably cheaper than a 10.3" screen device.
