My own recommendation for this is to get a dedicated ebook reader. 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.
