I find I'm using PDF more on my K3 than K2. Although the PDF support is very similar, the contrast adjustment of K3 is helpful in making text more readable, and it is nice to be able to highlight and annotate (though these annotations are not portable to other PDF readers).
I have also discovered Cropping. This allows pages to be trimmed down so they display better in fit-to-screen portrait mode. For example, usually there are headers and footers and wide margins that can be trimmed off (Kindle displays the PDF page number labels so navigation is no problem) so that text can be larger. The text can be quite small, but I find it readable in most cases. Cropping also improves usability in landscape mode. There are a number of free tools that can do cropping (on Mac, the Preview app is able to do it).
Occasionally Kindle will cut off the bottom of the page in fit-to-screen (portrait) mode, and you have to zoom or switch to landscape to see it. But that happens only every 20 pages or so and with some PDFs not at all.
I find that PDF conversion almost never works to my satisfaction, so I'd much rather view it with the original layout.
The one feature I would like to see them add is support for PDF links (for TOC etc.).
