An e-book for technical literature?

I would like to update the question asked in 2011 . Are there e-books, not tablets, because the eyes fall out of the monitor at work, for comfortable reading of technical literature (with diagrams, code examples, etc.). Target formats PDF, DJVU. Of course fb2, epub should also be supported.
My wife has a wonderful onyx magellan, I tried to open pdf on it, it looks nasty. Moreover, android and a wide selection of reading programs do not correct the situation. I tried to convert to fb2 from pdf with underground converters, the result is even worse. The most common problems are uneven color texts, out-of-order formatting, brainless display of footnote formulas, code, in short, the most interesting! What is there at the end of 2015 in the e-book industry for these purposes? Who is in the subject, please open your eyes to me, soon the new year, you need to make yourself a gift.
UPD:Unfortunately, it seems that there are no A4 pdf e-book readers, there are 10-inch models, but the price is just like an airplane! From the software side, there are also problems - a scanned (underground) pdf will be displayed poorly. Alas, the tablet is the only alternative to a PC monitor that I see today.

I took Pocketbook 624. PDF in album mode is normally readable, only a page of 3 screens is obtained. Very happy with the book

If the technical literature, then all the converters from PDF I have tried in recent years are no good. Including the coolest Abbyy FineReader 12 Professional. Therefore, I was forced to buy not modern, but convenient for PDF - Sony PRS-950 (Daily Edition) www.the-ebook.org/?p=7033
It is "widescreen" compared to ordinary readers. And in a horizontal position, any PDFs are easy to read. The price is a bit high for a book. But, unique to e-books, the screen format is compact and great for PDF! If you do not consider tablets, then from books for those. liters - optimal, as for me.
