Many would say "don't do it, use ePub or MOBI instead", but if you must do PDF then:
  • use a common font or fonts in case the reading app want to use its own.
  • embed the font(s).
  • sub-set the embedded font(s).
  • set the page size to the size of a typical ereader screen, ~4"x5".
  • set a reasonable, but perhaps slightly large point size for the text, ~12-14pt, to cover for those using smaller screen (e.g. phones, ...)
