MODERATORS
A few years ago amazon made a few big screen kindles before settling on the current format, I don't know which eink screens sizes are available for consumers, but it would be interesting bring that back
A screen around 10" is perfect for reading pdfs. No need to reflow or anything, just read the pdf as it is.
personally I use a 10 inch tablet for pdfs, reading PDFs on eink is a terrible experience.
PDFs are also often reference materials that require flipping back and forth. which makes it doubly painful.
