Which Kobo best for PDF A4?
Thank you very much for your help

It's not a "normal" tablet as it's 3:2 aspect instead of 16:9 or 16:10 and has a special screen. You only need Android account for initial setup, Google security updates and Playstore. It can be later disabled.
The Kobo Sage 8" has slightly more pixels than a 10.3" Kobo Elipsa or Elipsa2. Neither is good enough for actual magazines or A4 documents. I really tried. Certainly many scanned books (if PDF brightened first) work as the current FW does per document crop. The A5 approx manuals are slightly better on the Sage than Elipsa (I have/had both).
I read almost all novels on the Sage, but Fixed Layout Illustrated and larger or colour PDFs on the Nxtpaper 14. I disable most Google services & Apps.
The Onyx Boox uses Android, Kobo and Pocketbook make more sense and the shops can be ignored.
Kobo can use a fake email address and updates still work. "SideloadedMode=true" disables all the shop stuff. A simple to edit text file.
