viewing PDF files on the iPhone and the iPad is a world of difference, the larger screen is good enough to view most pages in a reduced size to fit the screen, and you can zoom up and see more than a few words like on the iPhone. I tried reading PDF files on the iPhone and only ended up doing so if I had no other option available to me (carrying around some documentation). Typically I used the iPhone as a "jump drive" to store PDFs and pull them off onto a laptop/desktop for viewing there. I can still do this with my iPad but for quick reference lookup the iPad is perfectly acceptable, along with longer reading.
Buying an iPad, really just depends on what you're going to do with it. If you want it solely as a dedicated eReader, then there are other, cheaper, options out there. If you're looking for a capable, all-round device, you'll be surprised at just how much you can do with an iPad.
