Someone has to tell xdvipdfmx which page size to use. If this is not done
by a LaTeX class/package then the default value from dvipdfmx.cfg will
be taken.

With koma-script this information is provide by the option [pagesize], which
unfortunately interferes with preview. [pagesize=no] omits this information.
But we can use other LaTeX packages to provide this information,
e.g. hyperref. Hyperref creates theses specials be default, you don't
need any specific option.

I think the following should work without any drawback:

\documentclass[paper=a4,pagesize=no]{scrbook}
\usepackage{hyperref}
