The iPad display _is_ smaller than an A4 sized pdf. But I've found that the screen is so crispy clear that even a reduced pdf is quite readable. Even magazine pages reduced to fit on the screen are readable. And of course you can always do the pinching gesture on the screen to magnify if you want to study a column or photo.

The battery life of my iPad being used as an ebook reader is maybe a couple of days. I've been recharging mine every night. It hasn't gone lower than 70% after a day of use as an ebook reader only.

The only downsides of the iPad is the cost and screen washout in bright light.
