Amazon have "Print Replica" format (AZW4), which is PDF in an Amazon wrapper (eg this book), although such books can indeed only be read on the tablet and PC apps, rather than on eInk Kindles. The "KindleUnpack" plugin for Calibre allows the original PDF to be extracted from such a book. I've bought several such books (including the one linked to) and read them (as PDFs) on my iPad.

The native PDF support in eInk Kindles is not at all good, unless the PDF has been optimised for the page size of the Kindle. I'm sure that Kobo's PDF support can't be any worse!
