Yep. That's why, even though they offer free PDF conversion, they make it explicit that it is "experimental". They don't claim they support it because they can't do it well. They've taken a lot of flack for that from people who don't understand. I can't tell you how many flames I've seen in the comments on sites like gizmodo and engadget along the lines of, "What do you mean they don't do PDF? PDF is teh most common ebook format ever. FAIL." They do PDF about as well as any 6" reader can. They're just honest about it.
