Hello,

I'm an engineering student. I got my first ebook reader a few years ago, a worn but perfectly functional first generation Paperwhite. It's been hiding up great, and I really like it, but I think I need a bigger screen.

I read a lot of textbooks, lecture slides and similar things. Unfortunately, they often come as a PDF, usually A4 or similar page size. Conversion is out of the question, because it badly messes up math and chemistry notation, and some of the books I read are also layed out in several columns per page for some reason.

I was looking at 7.8 inch readers, mostly the pocketbook inkpads because they're readily available here in the Czech repubic. But is 7.8 enough? Do any of you have experience reading full size pdfs on a 7.8 inch pocketbook? Or do I need to go even bigger than that? Maybe it doesn't even need to fit the entire pdf on the screen, if the reader isn't as clunky and frustrating as on my old Paperwhite.
