In my opinion, it really depends on the kind of PDFs you're reading.
If it's about pure information, size of the display isn't that important. You can reflow your PDF then and comfortably read it on a 6" display.
But if it's about layout (PDFs typically are prepared for being printed as DIN A4/letter format), the display should have about the same measurements as the original PDF.
Imagine a text book from university. Diagrams, formulas, pictures, ... all perfectly arranged, now suddenly reduced to pure information. Some formulas will be crippled, text won't be aligned to the graphic anymore and so on.
A friend of mine bought his first (and only) dedicated reader, when preparing for his MBA. His idea: Having all his text books with him all the time.
He got rid of his reader within a week. Reflow didn't work, for zoom his 6" reader was too small.
