My Nikon camera manual PDF is formatted for a 4.14 x 5.83 inch which is close to an A6's 105 mm x 148 mm (4.13 in. x 5.83 in.) paper size and fits my Libra and Sage screens quite well.

That's what I do with my PDF ebooks. I measure my ereader screen (3.5 inches by 4.75 inches for my Nook Glowlight 4) and set that as the page size for my ebook with 0.1 inch margins. Then I choose a typeface size that is comfortable to read, either 13 point or 14 point for the main body. Then a few other decisions (such as ragged right or justified, first line indent for each paragraph or 12 points of space after each paragraph). I've already made those decisions, so it just a matter of dropping the text into it and making minor adjustments.
