I just don't see PDFs ever being usable on a 6" reader--too much will get lost in trying to fit them on the screen for stuff with lots of graphs and tables.
An 8.5 x 11 reader with a touch screen (say an e-ink tablet pc basically) would be nice--but that tech is a long ways off from being affordable. And one that size isn't very portable (have to have a briefcase or something to stick it in).
So I'll just stick with printing them for the foreseeable future, as it's a long way from having an affordable reader that displays all of the properly and allows you to highlight and make notes as easily as you can on paper. I'm not sure any reader will ever get to that point.
