it really depends. I mean, really. Text PDF's (and I mean by that PDF's that are made into PDF's from documents, not scanned) often look very good, but not always. If it's pretty straight forward - it'll usually be VERY usable. If it has graphics, weird formatting, etc... it can get very hairy.
And yet, sometimes, you'll be surprised by how well one turns out that seems like it shouldn't, and vice versa.
Sometimes scanned PDF's come in as sideways images that are usually not too bad. But then sometimes you get a weird mix of "image" and text where they'll turn one page into an image (so the text is too small to be read) and the next will be standard Kindle text that is resizable, etc.
I send a lot of PDF's to myself... I'd say about 90% of the text PDF's come out good, and about 60% of the OCRd scanned texts turn out ok.
But quite frankly... because I use so many PDFs, I'm planning on getting the DX. It looks like the ideal device between PDF's and ebooks.
