Well, the default Barnes and Noble app allows you to read PDF's, but not very well.

With the hack, you have a lot of options:

Adobe Reader: good display, but not many options.
Beamreader: can do word searches
Documents to go: Very full featured app
...and various other options!

Although the display is small, you can use the touchscreen to pan around the document and zoom in and out. Most of the apps allow for reflow as well.
