In my case it usually depends on the pdf layout of the b/w A4 documents, because many A4 pdfs are easily legible on 8" 300 dpi reader if we don't mind using four screens per pdf page (two-column mode) or the reflow mode.
If A4 pdf is two-column document we can simply use two-column mode (since the portraite width of 8" reader is considerably wider than the column width of A4 two-column pdf), whereas for one-column documents we can either use the landscape (margins cropped) mode or the reflow mode if the letters are still too small after the cropping of the empty margins.
I can comfortably read about 2/3 (two-thirds) of my A4 pdf documents on 8" 300 dpi Kobo Aura One (using Koreader app), and about 1/3 are problematic for various reasons, e.g. there are many tables/graphs spreading across the whole page (instead of being contained within the single column), the letter size in the one-column pdf is still too small despite the margin cropping and I don't like using the reflow mode (it confuses the layout), there are many color graphs/diagrams and the simultaneous using of color tablet would be tiresome etc.
