You need to crop/zoom the white space margins that are needed for paper and be able to turn the page. Kobo finally realised that, but at least KOReader (no longer needed) is easy to install on Kobo. It's impossible on many versions of Kindle firmware. Almost all PDFs have large margins for print.

If you can't crop /zoom off the white space in a PDF and turn the page at that setting then the Scribe would be no better than an 8″ ereader for many PDFs.
We can quickly crop the white margins on PC in advance, though, using some pdf editor or free apps like k2pdfopt or Briss.

We can also quickly crop(cut) two-column pdf vertically or horizontally in half, or in four rectangles per page, if our older 8" or 10" ereader lacks such capability or is slower in that case.
