It depends. If I'm reading in bed without my glasses on*, I like a very small font - 7pt, say. If I'm reading in normal light with glasses, I like something around 12pt. If I'm in low-light levels, 18pt is comfortable.
That's why I use Mobipocket ebooks - so I can change the font size at will.
The problem with PDF for me is not that it's often set in A4/US Letter page size, but that it is in a fixed layout and font size.

*I'm short-sighted (myopic), so without my glasses I need to have the ebook less than 15cm away. The one advantage to being short-sighted. I don't need reading glasses in bed :-).
