I played around with this briefly, too, after getting my first ereader. The problem I ran into is you're still pretty much stuck with a fixed text size. Sure, you can tweak your page size so it displays at a fair size under normal conditions. However, because some days my eyes are better than others (I'm getting too old to pretend my eyes are still young), and I don't always reading in ideal lighting conditions, I've become very dependent on being able to change text size. Two things my current reader (Sibrary G5) does pretty well are text sizes (fourteen steps, from near-microscopic to ginormous -- a dozen words or less per screen), and reflow.
Plus it means I don't have to (re-)create a new PDF for every device I want to read on. The same epub will (depending on the software, of course) look just fine practically anywhere.
