The KDX is not using the reflow capabilities of Adobe Digital Editions for PDFs which would be essential on a 6" screen. So it would take a bit of work to add native PDF support to the Kindle 2.

Amazon does have an alternative reflow method - send your PDF to them for conversion to MOBI. There are advantages to the ADE approach though. For one thing, you get to see the original PDF page layout if you want as well as the re-flowed version.
