You have to pay if you want it transfered to your kindle wirelessly, not if you do it yourself via usb. PDFs have to be converted to mobi format using freeware before then passing to amazon for conversion to kindle format. Conversion not great due to most pdf documents being too large a page size to fit on the paperback size kindle, especially if there are a lot of images.

All we really need though is a third party app that can handle the conversions. That and a zoom option in the kindle for images/pdfs.

Are there any zoom options for pdf. Not just font sizes, but actual zoom, including graphics?
when in the UK?
