There are (usually paid) tools which promises better handling of PDF files, and maybe could aid to create a PDF more suitable for an e-reader.

I have converted pdfs twice. The first time was with 3 book samples from some nut's website, and I sent them through Amazon. The result was a file where many words would be run together with no spaces, or with word breaks mid-word. Not IMPOSSIBLE to read, but not pleasant at all. The second time I used Calibre. It produced flawless reading material, but of course no perks. I haven't tried anything with charts.
