As I recall, there are a number of "pan and scan" readers, that allow you to enlarge .pdf files to any size you like, then move across the page as you like. However, I doubt if this creates a great read experience-- too much time at the controls, unless you can read with an automated movement program, such as is available in reader programs for many kinds of eBooks. I'm afraid my own reading style of jumping ahead to do the phrasing formulation while I am still "reading" a previous portion might not go too well with these, but experiments, though no long term ones, seem to create ok reading to me.

Below find a link to an Amazon Kindle user forum where users compare their experiences and happinesses reading Kindle books on iPhones using the Kindle iPhone app. Many people are very happy with this experience -- *personally* I can't imagine it [sort of like watching a movie thru a peep hole] -- but that doesn't mean there aren't other people who are happy with it!
But this is somewhat of a different issue than PDF + Kindle DX in that the Google Books approach of simply digitizing the page images of a book is a perhaps reasonable approach where the readership for that book is small compared to the effort required to take the Gutenberg approach of producing a clean digital text. If one is going to simply digitize the page images of a book then one needs a reader with a screen big enough to display that page image legibly -- unless one imagines a technology to slice and re-dice the page image in an intelligent manner so that snippets of the page image fits readably onto an iPhone.
