I would not recommend any small reader for reading PDF files unless the files have been created explicitly for that size reader, not a common situation.

I don't think that any revision of software will give you a 6" reader able to do a good job with PDF viewing. I'm sorry, I could be wrong, but that's my opinion of the state of the technology right now.
I think that depends on what your requirements are. I frequently read PDFs on my PB360 which is a 5-inch reader. I read the comics in land-scape mode and for text-based PDFs I either use reflow or the landscape mode (with the zoom set to fit-to-width). I find it very usable, but I am either reading text-based non-fiction (i.e. not so many diagrams) or novels and short stories. And comics, of course.
