What is the correct (free) way of transferring pdfs from computer to Kindle DX?

The charge isn't for the conversion, it's for sending the document to your Kindle via Whispernet.
The best way to transfer content is via the USB cable. Connect the Kindle to your computer and it will be seen as a mass storage USB device in Windows Explorer. Drag and drop the content into the "documents" folder. Right click on the KindleDX drive and select "Eject" or "Safely Remove" (I think you drag the drive to the trash on a Mac but I'm not sure) from the menu, then disconnect the USB cable and you're done. This is the easiest method.
You can also use Calibre to manage your content and have it send content to your Kindle via USB. This method is more useful when you are making changes to the documents metadata or converting from one format to another.
