Page turn on many older ereaders of PDF is very slow. Conversion to 1 bit per pixel as well as making background white (can be automated) as well as a crop can help.

I've been gladly reading all kinds of pdfs on Kindle DXG for over 7 years now, mainly outdoors though (indoors I rather use iPad or my eink readers with frontlight), using KPV (ex-koreader) reader with a contrast adjustment control and very good other pdf functions i.e. much better than DXG's native pdf reader.
Although I can read a lot of my b/w A4 pdfs on 7.8" 300 dpi Kobo Aura One, e.g. two-column A4 pdfs using two-column mode, and single-column A4 pdfs (with the text width 16-17 cm + empty margins) using landscape with margins completely cropped, there are quite a few single-column A4 pdfs whose text width is about 18 cm, so that it is much easier for me to read those pdfs using DXG in landscape mode because with margins completely cropped I can also get 10-15% magnification compared to the paper original (on its 20 cm wide screen), than on Kobo's 16 cm screen in landscape.
I could also use Kobo's (Koreader's) reflow mode for such wide A4 pdfs but I rather use DXG (KPV reader) and read with an original (undisturbed) page layout, or indoors iPad.
