Hmm. All the pages/posts I can find about that limitation are all from Kindle 2 users which don't have WiFi like
this blog post. I have no idea what happens if you try to do it with a Kindle 3 on WiFi. Very strange that you can't though. I'd understand if you couldn't do it over 3G because of charges or something but allowing USB sideloading but not WiFi?
Anybody got a Canadian Amazon account and tried the document conversion service?
Anyway, to your original intent of using the Kindle 3 as a PDF reader. The PDF reader in it isn't amazing TBH. The main issue is that the screen is just too small to display the average PDF comfortably. If the PDF is large then you'll find that there is a slight delay in flipping pages. I've no idea what its like on the other eReaders. You might want to consider something like an iPad if PDFs are going to be your main reading material since that will display them without any problems at all.
