The Amazon conversion process started out using code very similar to Windows MobiPocket Reader's PDF to MOBI capability. So try that out on a few PDFs. If you read them using the MobiPocket Reader in a 600x800 window that will be similar to how they look on the K2 (although the K2's 600x800 screen is probably much smaller than your PCs window). The latest Amazon conversion has been improved a bit and is now sometimes better than the Windows MobiPocket Reader's conversion, but they are the same for most PDFs. Text-heavy PDFs that started out as word processor documents work well, other PDFs are hit and miss.
Most Kindle ebooks are AZWs, which are just MOBIs, and these can be read on your PC if you strip any DRM (encryption) using mobidedrm.py. A small fraction of Kindle ebooks are TOPAZ, and this is a Kindle-specific format not readable on any other device except a iPhone or iPod Touch.
The Sony ebook library software (Windows or Mac) can show you how PDFs will work on the PRS-600, although the PC software does not include a landscape mode.
