The Kindle DX and the iRex are definitely going to be your best bet, though I've gotten more and more adept at making awkwardly-large sized PDFs readable on my Sony. Tools you can find here like PaperCrop, SoPDF and PDFLRF help immensely.

Not really a plug for Sony... more of a "if your budget can't allow the more expensive ones... not all hope is lost..." plug.

From my experience with archive.org, however, the PDFs there are not letter/A4 paper sized, but just scans of actual paper books. Very rarely do actual books have a text-width anywhere near the full size of A4 or letter size paper... indeed, they're very rarely more than 4.5 inches wide. Stripping the margins would be the main thing, which a variety of tools can do.

Still, let's hope you don't have vision problems...
