Some PDF novels from the IA work, but often you need to reprocess to make the background white and text black.

The Sage (and Kobo generally) now has added per document margin crop (Zoom) that stays as you page which reduces the number of PDFs that need processed.

However mostly I now read IA PDF novels on a 14.25¨TCL Nxtpaper 14, which is as kind to the eyes as Sage with front light on, if NOT in epaper mode and sRGB + adjusted colour balance and brightness, using Pocketbook app. It's better than Xodo for PDFs. Sumatra on a Windows Tablet (but I gave those away).

Edit:
I find the Sage better than the reMarkable or Elipsa for IA PDF novels. The 9.7″ Kindle DXG was got cheap from Amazon on maybe the final "sale" for PDF and was a total failure. Unusable slow page turns on PDF image files and poor quality (only 150 dpi).

The Sage page turns are fast enough.
