Anecdotally, I stopped using my old 10" Android tablet in favor of my new Nexus 7 precisely because the screen resolution is just as high, but smaller and higher density, such that reading things is just as easy, but holding the device is now far easier than before. I've already used it many times for reading and even signing PDF's related to selling my old residence, and I haven't had any complaints about the process so far.

Reading and signing a short document might be okay, but I'm talking about reading a 40 page article or a full book. While it still might be doable, it's not comfortable like it is on a full-sized iPad. At least for me...maybe you have better eyes than I do. I know the Nexus has a higher-res screen than the iPad mini, but I suspect it will still be more comfortable to read PDFs on the mini due to the physically bigger screen size. On the other hand, text on the non-retina iPads look terrible to me now. I wonder if that's still the case on the mini, or if the reduced physical size will make the text rendering look passable.
