I would always use my 8" Kobo, if only I could read A4 sized pdf page with about 17.5-18.5 cm text width + 3-4 cm of empty margins on 16 cm screen width (landscape orientation) of 8" reader, since using reflow mode is not good enough for my needs (too many wrong characters for scientific documents and deranged page layout).
On any 10" reader (about 20 cm width in landscape) pdf text (font size) will be considerably magnified (if read without margins in landscape mode, two screens per page) whereas on 8" (16 cm width) it will be diminished.
I can still comfortably read about 50-60 % of my A4 pdf documents on my 8" Kobo reader, but those are either A4 documents with about 16-17 cm text width + 4-5 cm of empty margin i.e. they are easily legible on 16 cm screen width (with cropped margins), or are documents with 18-19 cm text width + 2-3 cm of empty margins, but implementing two-columns layout with about 7-9 cm width for each column, so, they can still be read relatively easily using two-column mode (four screens per page in portraite mode).
