Hi, I just got a Kindle 2 so I'm new to all this. Please bare with me, I'm having a problem viewing them in the native format on the device.

I've done a bunch of a research this evening and found out that there is no zoom option for PDF in the Kindle so naturally I began to look at conversion options.

The one that works well from reading the forums here is Calibre, I had converted a PDF to MOBI, but the formatting was lost in the process, now all the pages are running into each other.

Is there an easy way to convert a PDF to a (better) viewable format on the Kindle 2 that keeps the original format of the PDF, either in Calibre or another program?

Thanks in advance - if there is a post somewhere on these forums that outlines the please let me know.
