Nothing compared to a tablet, but at least in landscape and with slightly increased contrast, you get to read your documents with persistent zoom (double tap auto zoom on text-area), relatively fluid page turns and the basic annotation features that the Kindle offers for its other formats.
If you think that this is not good (of course it could be better), give any recent Kobo device a try. You will find that experience atrociously slow and clunky, despite the device possibly having a larger screen and faster processor than your Kindle.
Fair enough. I gave up trying to read PDFs on my Kindle because it wasn't a good experience, and I don't think I ever tried reading a PDF on my H2O when I had that. I decided a long time ago that tablets really were a much better way to read PDFs!
