On Kindles and Kobo we can install kindlepdfviewer(KOReader for Paperwhite) in a couple of minutes and got very good 6" pdf reader for A5 pdf formats (majority of books there), or even A4 format by using the reflow function in kindlepdfviewer or k2pdfopt app that even reflows text on scanned images.

On Android readers like Nook or Sony we can install good third party pdf readers like Orion, APV, Ebooka, EZpdf ...

If, for whatever reason, we don't want to install anything thereon, we can still read pdfs comfortably on any 6" reader by using k2pdfopt app that will automatically crop margins, adjust pdf resolution, size and mode (portraite, landscape), reflow text etc. beforehand for our reader, so that even if our reader is old or slow it will turn the pdf pages rather quickly.

The same goes for bigger 8" and 10" readers like Kindle DX, Jetbook Color, Icarus Excel, Pocketbook color lux etc. that will be better or quicker pdf readers after adjusting pdfs with k2pdfopt beforehand.
