Most likely one or more of the fonts used are not embedded in the PDFs in question. In that case, the PDF rendering software on Kindle has to substitute a different one, and that will cause some ugliness.

By contrast, the fonts in question probably exist on your computer, so everything looks okay there.

Google 'PDF font embedding' for more details.
