Can I read two-column academic PDFs on an e-reader?

Yes, on 10-inch+ screens. Most large e-readers offer a crop-margins feature and column-mode reading that isolates individual columns for easier reading.

How do I transfer PDFs to my e-reader?

USB cable, email (Send-to-Kindle), Dropbox (Kobo), WiFi transfer, or cloud sync. The easiest method varies by brand — Kindle's email system and Kobo's Dropbox are the most seamless.
