Kindle supports pdf but not djvu files. You would have to convert the djvu files on your own, but I'm not sure how since Calibre doesn't support that file type.

Kindle can handle a simple pdf without any problems. You are only allowed to zoom and not change fonts. And If the pdf has lots of diagrams or charts, it's going to be hard since you will have to zoom and use the arrow keys.

Kindle can treat a pdf as a text file or image file, it depends on how the pdf was created. If the pdf is in text there won't distortion, but if it's an image file then there will be distortion.

I think it would be better if you could buy a larger ereader, because there're pdfs that you can't comfortably read in the kindle.
