Not bad at all.

Scrolling and zooming on the iPad is very good so I don't mind reading A4 PDFs on it as much as I thought I would. It's not ideal, but much less painful than scrolling on a lattop, slow e-ink device like a Kindle DX etc.

I'd prefer the whole page, but land scape is doable. Make the screen 4:3 and 11-12" and most stuff I have would be readable in portrait mode, so that's more what I'm hoping for. Then I can just use landscape for some multi column articles with small fonts etc.
