Actually, PDF doesn't convert well for *SPECIFIC* reasons - The biggest reason other PDF conversions are marginal on Kindles is because the original PDF was sized and laid out for a printed (8.5x11) page - not for a 6" diagonal Kindle e-ink screen. This isn't true for our PDF files, which is why they convert well.
So, News2PDF PDF files for the Kindle are *designed* for the Kindle screen with correct page sizing and large fonts. These differences make News2PDF files covert amazingly well on the Kindle.
News2PDF specific sizing (and fonts) are also the reason the News2PDF PDF files are incredibly readable on your PALM or Windows Mobile device.

One of our specialties for the past 20 years has been document processing on mainframes and personal computers, so we have a lot of experience with PDF, MDF (Jetform), RTF, and dozens of other text and document formats. We also have worked extensively with barcodes and OCR since 1990.
