Kindle does not recognize PDF bookmarks, but you can create 'Kindle' bookmarks for a PDF. You still have to walk through the menus to 'View My Notes & Marks' and then navigate to the bookmark in question. I often create bookmarks at the start of each chapter. If nothing else it shows relative positions of chapters in a PDF.

Search is really slow, because PDF's are not indexed. That also means that you can't search for text inside PDFs from Home screen.

Also Kindle does not support PDF links.

BTW you don't need to use the Sym key to enter numbers. The top row of ten letter keys (Q-P) corresponds to the numbers 1-9, 0. Press 'Alt' and the corresponding letter (simultaneously or in sequence) and it will generate a number.

Converting to MOBI would allow for quicker searches, since Kindle generates an index for this format.
