A few folks report good results with reading on six inch devices. I believe they take the original pdf's and edit them to trim out the white space (margins), then they read them in landscape fashion on their Sony's.
However, most folks seem to feel that you will not have an acceptable experience on anything this small. The consensus seems to be that you should go for a 9.7 inch device or to pass for now.
In terms of zooming journal articles, you may have a real problem. Many (most?) journal pdf's are simply scans (pictures) of pages from past journals. This means that you can't resize them to fit your page. If you zoom out to fit a page you get really small type. If you zoom in you get bigger, fuzzier type that doesn't fit a full line on a page.
If you do get one of the text-orientated pdf's then you may be able to get it to reformat to fit your page. However, the problem is in graphics, charts, etc. These will not be able to reformat to the limitations of your device.
