I similarly want a reader with good PDF support. My specific use case is downloaded Wall Street Journal PDF versions of the print edition. Think the printed newspaper unfolded into a PDF. I will be doing a good bit of zooming and panning.
I currently have a Kobo Aura One and it does an OK job with the PDF, but fairly frequently it will freeze up doing a double-tap zoom, resulting in a lot of waiting and making the experience annoying.
In fairness, each page is huge. Still, there appear to be better options these days, like the Onyx Boox Nova 2, which is also a 7.8" device, which I like, since that size fits in my back jeans pocket. Any other devices I should be considering? No need for annotations or a pen or drawing or an Amazon book store. Just files copied over USB or network.

Before you buy a new Reader for your PDF, go to the Kobo forum and find the thread in the developer's section to install KOReader. KOReader has very good PDF support. You can use that to read PDF on your KA1 and you will have a much better experience. Will it be good enough to not need to buy another Reader, only you'll know after you try KOReader.
