I use my iPhone pro 13 max all the time to read pdf's -- it works pretty well, though obviously a larger screen would be advantageous. Can't speak to vision issues -- I find the OLED screen very comfortable. I think even the new Elipsa is much too slow for your purposes. I use PDF Expert on the iPhone, iPad and Mac. I had a Boox but did not care for NeoReader.

I also have an iPhone pro max and I read my PDF travel guides on mine. The screen is so sharp that reading on this zoom factor is easy for me.

Thank you again to all of the above posters who commented to offer advice. Much appreciated.

I got a chance to check out the Kobo Clara Colour and the Kobo Libra Colour at my local store. Surprised to find that the Kobo Libra Colour can actually fit into my lab coat pocket. May end up trying the Libra Colour instead given the bigger screen as suggested by this community as a better option for PDF reading.
