I have the 2015 Kindle Wi-fi Touch. It's great, although when I try to read PDFs on it, it blurs them.

I don't have a problem with small fonts, and I realise that ereaders are never going to be optimal for PDFs. But is there an ereader that, at least, will not blur PDFs?

Quality resolution for PDFs is awfully dependent on screen size. The bigger the display, the easier it is to read.

I don't have much experience working with Kindle's PDF converter/reader, but it's possible that this pdf uses formatting which the converter cannot process.

I have a 1st gen Kobo Glo, and it renders PDF files pretty well.

I have to say that I don't usually use my ereader with PDF files, a 6 inch screen is really not the best way to read an A4 sized page, but the text is readable and clear, albeit small sized.

I can't test this with more recent Kobo devices, but being more or less the same firmware, the experience shouldn't be very different.

A couple of pics, so you can judge by yourself (the actual rendering is a bit sharper, the slight "blur" is caused by the photograph, not by the device).
