OK, I read some of the DX user guide that you can get online. From the user guide:

Kindle DX can display a PDF document without losing the formatting of the original file. Just drag PDF files over USB or e-mail them to your dedicated Kindle e-mail address (found on the Settings page on Kindle or the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com). We will wirelessly deliver the original file directly to your Kindle for a fee. For details, see the “Your orders and individual charges” section of your Manage Your Kindle page for your Kindle DX on Amazon.com.

When you display a PDF is portrait mode is automatically crops the margins to give you the best display it can. You can also rotate the kindle to landscape mode and the PDF will zoom and show you the top of the document and you can scroll down.
You might want to
grab the users guide to the DX. At this point the only other option for a large screen reader that does support hyperlinks is the iRex DR1000s which is $860. Not sure if hyperlink support is worth the extra $370.
