I asked the tech support at irex about the "optimal" PDF size for 100% uncropped view without any resampling.
As soon as I get some relevant answer to this question, I'll make another PDF.

Anyway, many thanks for your support. It helped me a lot.
These sizes apply to the iLiad, which afaik has the same size screen. (though 158 ppi/dpi in stead of 160) Hope this helps, though the sizes seem weird. I generally create PDFs with an ISO B5 size, 9.5pt font (latex), which yields perfectly readable documents. (I imagine the 160dpi means that you can use a smaller font and still have the same clarity, but I'm just guessing here.)

Paper size
The area for displaying content is 124x152mm (close to A6) while most office documents are generated in A4 or letter paper size. The iLiad can handle A4/letter sizes (or any other size) by resizing this automatically so it fits the display size, for an A4 paper this results in decreasing the height of text and images by 50%. Due to the high resolution and brightness of the iLiad display in many cases the resizing from A4 to an A6 size will still be readable, but an original 11 point height text will result in a 7 point height text on the iLiad.
This can be prevented by using a custom paper size for the document, however, existing documents will require a full editing of the layout size the paper size has changed. This document explains how to optimize the printer settings so A4 documents are represented optimal and how to create optimized content using a custom paper size.
