I've only found PDF instruction/operation manuals working on smaller screens.
Most apps and now all kobos allow per document crop of PDFs.
Boox's Reader let's you turn off finger gestures requiring you to use the Stylus or press a button on-screen to re-enable it.

There's loads and loads of PDFs books that are perfectly readable on A5 sized devices for most people. A scan of an average paperback is going to be fine. Especially with a crop. (e.g., https://archive.org/details/bwb_P8-B...e/n33/mode/2up). And there are sites that sell or offer PDFs of books for purchase/loan. ebooks.com for example has some titles in PDF that replicate the print editions.
