The new PDF display ability is, IMHO, a marketing gimmick more than a real feature. I have yet to put a single PDF on my Kindle 2 that was readable.

I have to convert anything I want to read, and there aren’t really any good options for doing that. You always end up with formatting errors of one sort or another, although Amazon does a better job than most at converting.

Your mileage may vary.
