If you set the margins and text size properly in MS Word before converting to PDF, it can be quite readable on the Kindle. But most "standard" PDFs, sized for 8-1/2" x 11" paper, are extremely difficult to read on the Kindle. With those, you have to zoom in and then navigate side to side to read. With standard PDFs, you can change the Kindle screen orientation from portrait to landscape. That makes the text easier to read, but it takes a few clicks to read down each page that way and it feels a bit awkward.
