I am considering buying a kindle 2. However, I have many ebooks in PDF format, which I want to read on the device.
I heard about the PDF problems and how crumbled it can look like. Therefore I wonder if it is possible to just copy/paste text (or images) from PDF to HTML or TXT and then convert it to MOBI - do you get good results with that?
What if the PDF contains only text, does that result in great quality?

Thanks!
