Second, and most important here: if the point is to show a page full screen, what the h**k has to do what the physical page size of the PDF is? I'm just assuming the book is just pictures, no text to reflow, just pictures, full page/screen pictures.
Design it to fit well on a 6" eInk screen and it's too small for an iPad. Design it to fit well on an iPad and you can forget a 6" Reader. There is no size for PDF that's going to work for everyone. That's why it doesn't work.
