8" is fine for note taking, but not for PDF. Can you read PDFs? Yes. Will it be comfortable? No. Ideally you want 13" if PDF is your main reading material. 10" is already a compromise.
Small devices are meant for EPUB, where you can reflow the text at any font size you choose. PDF is designed to simulate a sheet of printed paper, so you need a screen that is close to that size if you want to avoid constant zooming and panning. If you already have trouble with eye strain, you don't want a small device, and you'll probably have to give up the idea of holding your device with one hand. You can't have everything in a single device, sadly.
