The Kindle won't read PDF, the Gen3's PDF reading seems to be broken in some cases according to others on the forum, and the 505 works just not all that well without preprocessing. But using PDFLRF, makes the Letter/A$ sized PDF not 1/2 bad.
MobiPocket Reader (for Windows) generally does a pretty good job of converting PDF files to Mobi, and it appears as though the Kindle's "mail in" PDF converter uses the same software to do the job. The results are (IMHO) just as nice as those from "LDFLRF". No device with a 6" screen is, however, terribly good for PDF.
