The Kindle essentially only supports the MOBI format. If you have a PDF, it must be converted to MOBI before transfer to your Kindle. Windows MobiPocket Reader can do this, or you can e-mail the PDF to Amazon and they will convert it for you. PDF to MOBI requires either reflowing the document or producing images (scans) of the pages. Sometime this works well, other times the result isn't very good. Note that the DR1000S will read MOBIs too, so off-line PDF to MOBI is equally an option for it.

The Kindle does not support most DRMed MOBIs you buy from independent ebook sellers, but rather only the rebranded MOBIs (AZWs) from the Kindle Store. It does read all DRM-free MOBIs and most lending library MOBIs, and you can transfer them via USB from a PC to your Kindle.
