That is exactly what I've been using DXG gladly for almost a decade now (outdoors only), for the plain reading (without highlighting) of b/w pdf & djvu A5 scanned books (in portraite mode), b/w pdf A4 documents (in landscape mode without any margins) and b/w comics (converted into cbz), always using KPV reader app, never its very rudimentary native pdf reader.
Majority of my scanned material (acquired or created) has been additionally OCR-ed using Adobe Acrobat's Clearscan, though, so that even those problematic and slow pdfs are relatively fast (about 1.2-1.5 sec.) to turn the next page.
Outdoors during the sunny day I'd still rather read A4 b/w pdf document on my DXG (landscape fit-to-screen mode without margins) than by using iPad or some 8" 300dpi eink with frontlight, because KPV has got all the functions I need and with DXG i can usually get 10-15 % magnification of the text (compared with A4 paper original) unlike with 8" reader, and also because I don't usually need the speed of a tablet when I read my pdf books and documents (I'm not student anymore).
I don't use reflow mode with scanned pdfs, because I want 100% accuracy of every letter and symbol therein and the original pdf page layout.
Indoors or for any kind of colored material it is usually iPad, or when I want to highlight and annotate pdf directly.
