Way I see this as a simple workaround is to hack Savory-like daemon (running process in the background) so it looks for files downloaded with a .mobi/.prc extension which are really pdfs, and renames them accordingly. Unless the Kindle browser is smart enough to read file headers and not just rely on file extensions & MIME data.

...if it can be hacked around, it probably will, but again, if somebody releases this, and the end result is that Amazon locks down the next version of the firmware so it's a lot harder or even nigh impossibile to install "hacks" imma be upset, and I'm sure others would be too.

Something like this application would be an incentive for Amazon to lock things down, if people all of a sudden start downloading 10-100mB pdf's without a cent being paid to them while they're paying Sprint for each mB.
