Also, is there something special that needs be done to a font before it can go onto the Kindle via the font hack? I'd like to be able to use my favorite book/academic typeface.

Thanks in advance.
I don't know anything about the fonts, but you can't download PDFs to your kindle using the browser. Only .MOBI, .AZW, and a couple other minor formats (like .txt or .jpg or something) can be downloaded to your kindle from the browser.
