For reading PDFs, I think the 9.7" HD screens in the Titanium and the never-seems-to-be-for-sale Platinum would be better choices. A large screen is nice, but 1280x800 is just too few pixels for comfortable reading.
For personal reading, you can always hold the screen closer to your face, which increases its apparent size. The reason they're calling it a "FamilyPad" and emphasizing the video is because you can't really do that with multiple people - everybody has to stay back so everyone can see, which necessitates a larger screen. So really, when was the last time your family gathered around to read a PDF together?
