IMO there are other features and enhancements that I would like to see first, which would be more useful to the largest group of users.
Depends on the PDF. For a full 8.5" x 11" PDF, probably not... but I have a fair number of PDF books that have a more reasonable size of 5.5" x 8". When the white margins are cropped out, it works great with a text size comparable to size "3" on the jetBook. Larger text if landscaped.

Also, PDF's generated from FeedBooks or ManyBooks are particularly nice.
