I'm a huge fan of 'BookFusion' for this. It's primarily an e-book manager, but its PDF handling is fantastic for reading. The web reader and mobile apps are in sync, and they offer a ton of reading themes specifically designed to reduce eye strain, including one that mimics parchment. What sells it for me is the reading stats and goals—seeing my progress through a long book in a visual way is motivating and makes long sessions feel rewarding, not daunting. It turns the act of reading into a more engaged, comfortable ritual. The interface is modern and uncluttered. It feels like it was made for people who consume a lot of books digitally, not just documents.

Kobo's built-in reader on their e-ink devices is criminally underrated for sideloaded PDFs. If your PDF is properly formatted (think novel scans or DRM-free ebooks), the 'Publisher Default' setting on a Kobo Libra or Sage provides a truly print-like experience. The e-ink screen eliminates glare, and the physical page-turn buttons make it effortless.
It's a specific use case, but for the right PDF, it's pure magic.

My two cents: the most comfortable reader is the one that doesn't spy on you. I moved to KoReader on a Kobo because it's open-source and doesn't phone home with my reading data. Knowing my reading habits—what I read, how fast, where I pause—aren't being aggregated and sold is a psychological comfort that outweighs any missing feature.
In a world of surveillance capitalism, a private reading nook, digital or otherwise, is a sanctuary. The comfort of knowing your intellectual exploration is yours alone is priceless. So I'd prioritize readers that respect your privacy, even if they lack some bells and whistles. Peace of mind is the ultimate comfort feature.

It depends so much on what you’re reading. A pure text novel PDF is a different beast than a manga volume or a textbook with diagrams. My advice is to identify your primary use case and then stress-test candidates with that exact type of file. Don’t judge based on a short, simple document. Load up the biggest, most complex PDF you actually plan to read and see which app handles it with the least friction and the most comfort.

A lot of people overlook text formatting options. If your PDF reader allows it, adjust the margins and line spacing. A wall of text in a tiny font is exhausting to track. I use an app that lets me crop margins and reflow text, which lets me increase the font size without losing content. This means less squinting and fewer dramatic sweeps of the eye across the screen. It turns a clunky PDF scan into something that reads like a proper ebook.

Cloud storage integration is a double-edged sword. It's convenient to have your library backed up and accessible everywhere, but what's your privacy tolerance? Some readers upload your entire library and reading data to their servers by default. If you're reading sensitive or personal material, you might want a reader that offers local-only storage as a clear, easy-to-use option.
Read the privacy policy. Sometimes the 'best' technical choice isn't the best for your peace of mind.

Warm light filtering is non-negotiable for late-night reading. Many apps now offer a schedule to shift the color temperature automatically, similar to f.lux. This is different from a simple dark mode. The redder light at night really does help me read longer without getting that wired, screen-induced alertness that keeps me awake after.
