In my opinion, the question isn't whether PDF is a good format for 6" screens, its whether the average ebook that is sold PDF format is formatted properly for a 6" screen. Go to feedbooks or to manybooks.net, both allow you to set up the page formatting for your specific reader. I have a jetbook, which has a 5" screen, and have found that feedbooks will produce perfectly readable PDFs on the 5" screen (I use feedbooks because I like paragraph indentation as opposed to skipping a line like manybooks.net does).

Now that being said, unless the device supports reflow, PDF is not the ideal ebook standard since once the book is in a given format, you can't resize the text without making it a poor fit for the screen. But if you are willing give that up, PDFs can work relatively well for reading ebooks.
