I agreed some A4 do work, even on 6" screens. But it's delusional to claim even the majority of magazines and A4 work on eink 7.8", 8" and 10.3". I still have all three of those those sizes.
I read novels on eink, mostly 8", but 4:3 at 5", 6, 6.8, 7 and 7.8 inch work well too. I have or have had all of those in eink. I found the DXG, Elipsa, reMarkable, Nxtpaper 11 and Nxtpaper 14 too awkward for reading regular reflowable novels. The DXG was bought in an Amazon International bargain sale for PDFs, and it's the worst ereader I ever bought, no matter what you use it for. The K3 is better for novels and even the PW3 is better for PDFs than the DXG. I nearly bought a Sony DPT 13.x" ink tablet and later a higher resolution Fujitsu version. I'm very glad I didn't.
EDIT
The 14.25" TCL NxtPaper 14 is the first portable device I've had or seen that works for all magasines, scanned books and A4. The Nxtpaper 11 (10.9") is better than Sage for those but still not good enough.
I've also compared the current 10" approx iPad, Sage, Elipsa and Nxtpaper 11 side by side. The Sage was best if the document suited it, otherwise the Nxtpaper 11 was better. The Nxtpaper 14 is far better than Nxtpaper 11, except for notes. The Sage is best for reflowable mono novels. The iPad was worst due to shine.

What is "works all magasines [sic], scanned books and A4"? Works for you? Because I can do (and have done) that on a 7.8" 300 DPI BW reader.* Yes, physically the pixels are there as showed with the example in my last post. Again, just because something doesn't work for YOU, doesn't mean it can't for other people.
*Barring things that don't work in greyscale.
And for colour I'd be okay with an 8" tablet like the iPad mini. The Nxtpaper 14 is not particularly high resolution at 2400x1600 for a 14.25" tablet. The 11" base model iPad has more pixels, the mini is pretty close.
