It seems PDF support is pretty lame. Which is surprising, since Fire supports Print Replica (PDF in mobi wrapper), which does let you do highlighting, text search, lookup, bookmarks, PDF links/TOC, and notes (for that matter so does the Paperwhite).

Fortunately there are much better apps for reading PDF on the Fire.

Unfortunately I don't think calibre (or any other available tool) can generate print replica so that we could perhaps turn on the 'hidden' pdf features. Probably a low priority.
