A 10 inch tablet is definitely streets ahead for PDFs, which are usually authored for A4ish paper anyway. Shrinking that down to 6 inches is pretty horrible, even with a hiDPI eink screen, and if you zoom and pan, the update speed is dreadful.
However, I do far prefer reflowable text on an ereader. I just had to give up on the idea of one device fulfilling both use cases: you can't have a 100g, one handed, two week battery device that you can read in a sunbeam as well as a device that can handily render a PDF and allow smooth zoom, pan and searching.
