It really depends on pdf page size.
Majority of pdf books there are about A5 size, so easily readable on any 6" e-ink reader in landscape mode with margins cropped.
The same goes for 2-column A4 pdfs.
But for much better pdf capabilities,
we should root any android reader there, like Nook ST, or
install kindlepdfviewer(KOReader) on Kindles or Kobo, because native pdf readers are just not good enough, as yet.
Those who want to read A4 sized pdf books on 6" e-ink reader because it is easier to carry them around than 10" devices, can relatively quickly and easily reflow A4 pdf scan or even A3 double paged scans for their particular reader using just k2pdfdopt app, or use Pdfscissors app or Briss beforehand to quickly graphicaly split a A3 double paged pdf into a A4 single paged, if they don't know how to do it in k2pdfopt using -grid or -cbox commands.

We can also adjust pdf beforehand with k2pdfopt when our e-ink reader or tablet can read complex or highly compressed pdf but it is not quick enough with its rendering, for our liking.
On my 6" Sony Prs it is not only quicker to flip through such beforehand adjusted pdf pages for landscape mode but also a lot quicker and easier to annotate such adjusted pdf using handwriting because there is no need to leave zoom for normal view and then getting back, as when using reader's own zooming capability.
