Just an observation: K4 and prior used Adobe RMSDK to render PDF. Kindle Touch and Paperwhite do not (maybe it is some PDF library from FoxIt which Amazon has a stake in). So there are going to be a lot of differences. For my PDF requirements, Touch and Paperwhite have much better PDF support (for example, PDF bookmark and hyperlink support).
Scanned PDFs are a headache, chew up a lot of storage, and are not accessible (no text search etc) so I would OCR them at the least if I wanted to put them on my Kindle.
Also I find that increasing the contrast a notch can make text more readable most of the time. That's an option for K3 and later I believe.
