Just wondering if a 10.3" would display and render just as well as a 13.3". Or if a 10.3" still has any size-related problems for which you have to do something, like pinch, zoom, or crop margins, etc.. The difference in price between the two sizes is enormous.

There is no single answer to this. It depends on your vision and the density (resolution and font sizes) of the scanned page.
A little test. The following page would likely be doable even on a 6" eink screen
The following would likely require at least 13.3" screen, if you want to see it in entirety at once
Decide based on what kind of pages you are mostly dealing with. I personally am used to cropping and zooming, because my max screen is 8". There are a bunch of books though with pages that can be read comfortably whole-page flipping even there.
In general, the bigger screen the better, but the software/hardware experience is also a factor. For example, I prefer to have frontlight on the device, and this rules out eink screens above 8". And I most definitely need colour inversion (night mode).
