In any case, thank you for your comments. The PDFs are books, the traditional type, not multi-column magazines. My plan is to convert them to another format using Calibre, so reading them (plus highlighting and making notes) on the Kindle shouldn't be an issue.

Do you see a downside to this?
Yes, I see a rather large downside to this. Converting from book size PDF ALWAYS introduces errors. The only way to make sure you don't have conversion errors is to a/b compare the PDF to the conversion. Plus, some PDF can take a really long time to convert and eat a large chunk of ram.
