This is the issue which I wonder about the most, being something many people get so hung up about. PDF is a format that has been created for documents to be easily portable, able to be read on a computer monitor and to be printed on A4 paper for reading off-computer.
A small handheld reading device is not really the best device to read a PDF file per the reasons above. Because the document size is predominently set to A4/A3 (letter/fulscap) readability becomes a real issue.
Not many dedicated ereaders are really capable of displaying such PDF's without issues of reflow, zooming and panning.
If you use a lot of PDF's then perhaps a tablet device such as the iPad are a better option.
