Update 25/11/09 - Amazon has now added native PDF support to the Kindle, meaning you no longer need to converts PDF documents to AZW to use them. However, the Kindle's PDF reader doesn't support annotations, text-to-speech, panning or zooming. The latter is of particular concern given that many PDFs tend to feature tiny text, making them unreadable without the ability to zoom in.
