So far I've been unimpressed with half of the pdf's I've tried on my kindle, with some pdfs if you try to change the font you just get the options "fit to screen, 150%, 200%, 300%, actual size". If you choose any other than fit to screen you have to scroll horizontally. If the original pdf is using small font then it won't be easy to read on the Kindle, if the original has decent sized text then it'll probably be fine. I'm not sure if the whole non-scalable text problem occurs on every pdf though, I have an electronics dictionary pdf on my kindle that doesn't seem to have any issues so it must be something with the formatting of the original pdf.
I also found reading books in landscape mode a bit of a pain due to the location of the page turn buttons. It would have been nice if they included an extra set of page buttons on the top of the kindle for landscape viewing.
All in all though I'm still really happy with my Kindle.
One option that might also work is running the pdfs through either Amazon's convert service or through Calibre's converter. I tried Calibre with a text only pdf and it seemed to correct the issue.
Hope this helps
