It will feel a bit clumsy to have both a cretinphone and another thing with you, but at least the thing is doing the job. At least, mine keeps cropping across pages. Also, the e-ink/epaper display of ebook reader is not supposed to screw your eyes and/or circadian rhythms (not that I know anything specific, but I find it very strange that people shine blue light into their eyes for extended periods of time and do not even quietly protest - well, perhaps it is akin to what goes between human and a dog, they become alike to each other, now, when a human has cretinphone...). Or, if it just one pdf to read, then you should be fine reading it on bigger screen.
