The book description lists the length of the book in kilobytes or megabytes, and usually the number of print pages, too. Just look in the Kindle store, and you'll see what information is available. Some books that are ebook only don't have a number of print pages. You'll soon get used to how many k bytes is the length of book that you want. 350+ is usually a normal-sized book. 450 or more is a longer book, usually. It can vary somewhat, though, if there are a lot of images in the book.
You can read pdf files on the Kindle, if that is what you are talking about. Usually pdf files don't work all that well, though. Although it tends to work better in landscape mode, rather than portrait mode. You can convert pdf documents through the Kindle email service. This is all fully documented in the User's Guide, and on the Kindle Support pages.
Ebooks can cost anywhere from free to 14.99, on average. There are a few books, often technical ones, that are more expensive. I buy a lot of books that are around $7.99 or $8.99. Again, just look in the Kindle store for some books that you might be interested in reading.
You can use .mobi or .prc formatted books with Kindle, or the format that Amazon sends, which is .azw, which is a variant of .mobi with DRM, usually.
